I can make a review video lecture for this. It’ll work best as a clean AP World-style recap with one section per unit, quick definitions, and a few memory hooks.

If you want, I can start it now as a background video task. Tell me one thing first so I tailor it right:

  1. Length — short (5–7 min), medium (10–15 min), or long (20+ min)
  2. Style — fast review, more detailed explanation, or quiz-style
  3. Voice — male or female narration

If you don’t care, I’ll use medium length + fast review + male narration and start it.

about 7 mins male narration detailed and fast
