Here are some excellent videos explaining Box and Whisker plots and how to describe data sets. 
This video explains very clearly how to calculate the "fence" for possible outliers on a boxplot. 
This video goes through skew in boxplots, and also explains the rule for determining possible outliers.
This video explains how the shape of data sets (symmetrical, positively skewed and negatively skewed ) can be seen in all graphical displays of data: boxplots, histograms, dotplots and stemplots. 
This video is the continuation of the one above and explains how to describe data sets by referring to shape, presence of outliers, spread and centre. 
This video explains how you determine the shape of a boxplot by considering the box and, if you need to, the whiskers as well
