5. Greetings from the corn fields of Iowa! Thank you for
emailing me! I believe you are talking about the YouTube
Review form? I hope you find it useful.
Let me know how it works out for you and your students.
If that is what you are using, one hint, students will use
the first video that pops up on their search. They spend
as little time looking for interesting clips as possible. So
some extra guidance can be helpful.
Best,
Jacob
