When writing your summary, follow this format:

Sentence 1: General summary. "In this video we learned..."

Sentence 2: More details. "Specifically..."

Sentence 3: Something you understood well. "I really understood..."

Sentence 4: Something you did not understand well. "I am still confused about..."

Here's an example based on a committee chairs video.
