Using technology to differentiate and accommodate students with disabilities

I need a 4-minute speech about the article. The first 2 minutes are summarizing the article to teach it to other adult students and the last 2 minutes are thoughts and learning on the article. It’s not really an article review it’s a speech that I have to record myself giving. I do not need additional sources. Article attached
