I liked this video, it sounds that the students had a lot of fun, I did too:)...
I also liked the method that the instructor used: cooperative small groups, whole group,and pairs' discussions... When the students work in groups effectively, they tend to understand the subject matter expansively. It also helps students practice social skills, problem solving and foster communicative skills. Group work also enables students to work at both the lower level and higher level orders of thinking.
