Instructional Ideas

• Use the video to introduce an examination of the nomination process
• Provide viewers with a list of terms covered in the video and have them take notes and record questions for later discussion

Classroom Considerations

• While all the essential terms and concepts are introduced, the rapid pace requires follow-up discussion and clarification

Pros

• The video is available in both English and Spanish, as well as closed captioned

Cons
