Positives

• The video uses maps and examples to help students comprehend the layout of a bay in relation to rivers, streams, and the ocean.

Additional Prerequisites

• Teachers and students need access to the internet.
• Teachers should know that the subtitles do not always have an exact translation.

Differentiation
