Incorporating Real-Life Videos into Your Teaching
Kick off a lesson on credit, investing, employment, car buying, or taxation with a Real-Life Video. This engaging format captures students’ attention from the start.
Pause the video at critical junctures and pose questions such as:
_“What would your response be in this scenario?”
_ “What do you think motivated this individual’s financial choice?”

Following the video, transition into interactive activities, case studies, or role-playing exercises that allow students to apply their newfound knowledge.
