YouTube Demonstration Speech Video Review

Topic/Description: 

Provide a critical review of a YouTube Demonstration video.

Purpose & Audience: 

For this assignment, you will select and view a YouTube Demonstration. Choose one of the following videos:

  • Making a gift basket 
  • How to make frozen hot chocolate 
  • How to do the Charleston (dance) 

You will then write an essay in which you critically analyze the video you selected by pointing out its strengths and weaknesses.  

In your essay, you will need to cite the YouTube video you are analyzing; additional research is not required. You must use parenthetical citations and a properly formatted APA References page. 

Your essay should be 1-2 pages, double-spaced, 12-font, Times New Roman. 

Instructions: 

  • After you have selected your video to analyze for this assignment (see above for video options), watch the video again, taking notes as you view it. As you watch, critically think about the presentations effectiveness and determine if the demonstration speech was successful or not and why. 
  • Draft your response to these questions in the form of a narrative essay (think paragraphs versus just question and answer) that includes an introduction, body paragraphs, transitions (you can use headers if you like), a conclusion, and proper APA formatting. See the essay requirements, below. 

Essay Review Format Requirements
