Step 2:
Craft Your Narrative

Dedicate most of your video to illustrating how this person embodies concepts we have
learned in class and what has made them successful in leading change.

ask for assistance structuring your argument.

voice-over narrative.
Step 4:

Save your video to your Google Drive to generate a
shareable link for submission. If you're using Vidyard or Screencastify or uploading your
video to a private YouTube channel, TikTok, or IG, you can submit the link to your video
