I did not have to feign to like this!
Well done
Nice! All five elements are there, and the video was engaging. Your example is very Annie-like... of course you'd be stealing food :P
hahaha Annie nice crown and great act. You definitely covered all five elements. You showed plenty of examples, good job.
Great video, I really liked how thoroughly you explained why this word was important in MP, and I also enjoyed and learned a lot from the example you showed set in the middle ages - it showed the definition very clearly. nice english accent :)
i really like the crown and the attempt of trying to talk in a british accent. I think it included the five elements that were required in the video. :) GOOD JOB!! hahah
I liked the skit idea, and like Coco said, there were definitely all 5 elements present :) Good job!
Hi Annie! I'm loving the crown and it's nice that you have all of the elements here, your video was engaging and fun, the role play is interesting and the relation to Morality play is great.
Your video was so good! It was very clear and you used the word more than once which made the meaning more evident. All the elements were there! I think you should get credit + !
