• Additionally, each analysis should include the following:
• THE GOOD: Discuss at least three things the video did well.

• OUTLINE: Break the story down into a written outline, attempting to arrange the story with an Introduction, Main Ideas (Body), and Conclusion. If, based on lack of information, you can not make an outline with each of the above elements (intro, body, conclusion), explain what you could add to fill in the missing pieces.
