Instructional Ideas

• The video contains a fair amount of vocabulary; post terms and their definitions as a word wall for classes to reference when needed

Classroom Considerations

• Video assumes scholars have knowledge about ATP
• The narrator speaks quite quickly, so turn on closed captioning so people can follow along

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• To engage viewers, the video uses high-quality images and diagrams
• There are five languages found in closed captioning, but if auto-translate is turned on, you can choose from many different languages

Cons

• None
