Nice blog! It was clear and concise and the videos you embedded were a great addition for making this topic more interesting and engaging to students.
Jodene,
A number of your tips were similar to mine, and I teach high school students. This just goes to show that many of the tips apply to students of all ages. I thought you had a very nice touch with the YouTube videos. It would definitely be helpful (and more engaging) to see that material presented by a cartoon or animated character in a very child-friendly way. Good inclusion!
