Nice video jabenes! I like Jannina's caper lol. You have all five elements, and the video was engaging. Good job!
Good job on this :) You were clear and you made sure that you had all 5 things Mr. J said our videos should have in that order, so your video was very organized and very easy to follow.
Great job :) It was very official and got all the points across with great clarity. I also like how you had fun with it, including a friend. Your video was very organized and was well presented.
This is definitely credit; you fulfil all the requirements. You define the word and repeat it at the end. You give the etymology and include the original word. You also use it correctly in a sentence and refer to caper used in Morality Play. I found the example you gave with your sister entertaining.
Great job. The word was well explained, the example was relevant, and highly entertaining. I loved your video, not only because it fulfilled all the mentioned requirements and was educational in that sense, but it was also fun to watch. =)
