These videos are NOT required, but do offer a different perspective on the topic if that helps!
Crash Course Chemistry - Very high production value vid that focuses on a different method of drawing a LDS. Many teachers instruct you to count valence electrons, which is what they discuss here. It can be a useful skill when doing more complex LDS's, but I find at this level it is not necessary.
Professor Dave - a MUCH shorter discussion on LDS. Prof Dave does a really good job explaining this topic very quickly. This would be a great followup AFTER you watch my longer more detailed explanation above.

The links below are sites with written descriptions of this content. Some prefer to learn from reading rather than watching. If that helps you these resources can be useful!
Boundless Chemistry - an online textbook that covers LDS in a lot of detail. This page is long, but an excellent resource.
Chem Talk - This resource is shorter and more direct. This also focuses on the the counting system that we don't use in class, but can be useful.
Open Text BC - the last textbook option. This is more similar to how we did this in class.
