Bonus: Try to use one new vocabulary word

- Read the rubric before you start.
- Don’t move around too much as you talk – (it can have the Blair Witch Project effect)
- Try to avoid ums, likes and so
- Practice a couple of times before recording
- Make it fun by giving an example, analogy, metaphor or simile – or use an interesting quote
- Learn to be concise and simple – it’s like Goldilocks: not too much and not too little just enough (just right).
- Be direct about what you say, but also act as if you are talking to your grandmother
- Look directly into the camera.
