I would use this video right before my class was going to start working on cursive handwriting to help stress the fact that practice will make their cursive look better, and it'll help them become more familiar with the ways that the letters are supposed to look etc. It was supposed to be a fun way to show them, hopefully make them laugh or say something about the dog lol.

Ethics
Ethics are a set of moral principals or rules of conduct that are recognized by people.
These moral principals, or ethics, are definitely going to affect the way that I teach in the classroom setting. Ethics are--whether it's consciously or subconsciously--involved in our lives in more ways than we think. Ethical or unethical decisions are made every day, not just by teachers, but by people all over the world.
When teaching, I will be encouraged to make ethical decisions so that I can be a good model for my students. I will need to be very thorough and make sure that I double check myself at all times. It is important to make ethical decisions so that students can see positive action from their teachers.
As I deal with my colleagues at work, I will also need to remember to keep ethical decisions in mind. If I see a colleague doing something unethical, such as helping a student cheat on an assigment or test, it is my duty to report that behavior to those in charge at the school.
I think that some of the pros of dealing with ethics are that we can be great role models for students if we choose to make good ethical choices. Proper ethics can create a great working environment and will help avoid conflict.
Cons of dealing with ethics may be that arguments could get started between parties who don't agree. Also, if I focus too much on ethics, I could wind up not paying enough attention to the other things that need attending in my classroom.
