Fun video. Did it take you long to make?
If I could pull something like this together like on a weekly basis and it didn't take much time, it'd be a new and energetic approach to vocab/discussion... pretty much anything.
I did a fair amount of videos in my classes in China. Filmed personally in the US and then edited to present them w/ cultural differences, regional accents and a fair amount of fun.
Nice way to 'change up' a bit in class. Here was one of my fav examples. Pretty amateur film/editing but the subject DEFINITELY got the class talking! :)

Hi Brad
Thanks for your comment here. The video didn't take me long to make at all - about 10 minutes or so and yes, it was great fun to make! It is definitely worth exploring and your students would enjoy the creative possibilities dvolver generates.
The video you included is a very interesting one and I can imagine it would get classes talking a lot!! Thanks very much for adding it here.
Cheers, Janet
10 minutes... definitely worth it then, so thanks for the tip!
Glad u liked the video. It was a blast filming/editing and showin to a group of students who thought it was just WRONG to get a tattoo... and only gangsters got them...
until they found out their beloved teacher had one too!
haha :)

That must have been interesting when your students found out!! lol
