Students discuss their favorite content creators on YouTube. They explore different content creators on a Wakelet and consider what it is about the video that makes it intriguing. Students learn from a YouTube content creator that creating YouTube videos is "kind of like an octopus"—you need a lot of hands to complete many tasks at once. Using their World Language skills, students work in groups to make a script and a how-to video in the style of a YouTube "content creator." Students then evaluate the videos made by their peers through Google Forms.
