  2. Hi Kieren
    Thank you for the lesson at a time (Corona) when being grateful is so relevant.
    I think it is just FANTASTIC that you have decided to have subtitles. It is really helpful; this will enable me to use this with a class that struggles with vids – which are very often too fast and complicated.

    I will use this with my “seniors class” and ask them if they have ever received gratitude from their children and ask what they would write to their children!
    Thank you

    1. Hi Dean,

      Thank you for commenting. I’m very happy you like subtitles.I hope your senior students enjoy the lesson.

      All the best,

      Kieran
