I think you will have trouble filling your goal with that approach. The most important thing an official needs to learn early on is field awareness... unfortunately, that really only comes with work and practice.
I would separate your focus into 3 areas, with perhaps a mental checklist to go through during each part.
1) Pre-snap... what are my responsibilities after the ready and before the snap. Check this, check that, signal this, watch for that (depending on position of course).
2) During the play... what are my keys, what should I be ready for, what should I do when the play goes the other way, etc.
3) After the play ... what do I watch immediately after the tackle, what do I do when the play is to my side... the other side ... out of bounds on my side... etc. What are my responsibilities before the ready (am I getting a new ball every play? On 4th down?)
If they know what to do and when, the rest will come.
