Building stronger listening and speaking skills while summarizing important facts from a YouTube video.

To start, your teacher will present some information, and you will need to draw a 3×3 chart on paper or in your notebook. Each box should be big enough to hold one or two words. Your teacher’s presentation will include 22 words that you will need to write in any of the nine boxes on your chart, in any order you choose.
Once the chart is complete, your teacher will play a VIDEO. Whenever you hear one of the words or phrases you wrote in your chart, you should cross it off. The first person to cross off all nine boxes on their chart wins the game.
If your teacher plays the video again, you will have a new task: write down any numbers that you hear. After watching the video, review the numbers you wrote down and explain their significance.
Next, you will have the opportunity to watch the video again, or if you feel confident, go ahead and spin a WHEEL. The wheel will select an item from the video, and each person will take turns explaining what was said about it.
