This innovative feature enriches understanding, fosters critical thinking, and perfects students’ ability to follow and interpret instructions.

Why Use Instruction Verbs?

  • Promote Higher-Level Thinking

    Verbs such as “evaluate,” “contrast,” or “critique” encourage students to engage more deeply with the material.

  • Boost Students’ Comprehension

    By turning video highlights into targeted tasks, learners refine their understanding and move beyond passive viewing.

  • Enhance Communication Skills

    Practicing how to respond to different instruction verbs helps students clarify thoughts and present nuanced answers.

  • Adaptable for Different Subjects

    Whether it’s a history documentary or a science experiment video, instruction verbs sharpen focus on key takeaways.

  • Foster Independent Learning

    Students gain the confidence to analyze or synthesize video content on their own, applying what they learn more effectively.
