Reflection
Some will find this activity difficult or a bit stupid so it is important that the teacher gives a good example to help the students to complete it. The teacher can change the nature of the object depending on the class.
The activity could be done using online tools such as Padlet, virtual whiteboard and breakout rooms in Teams/Zoom.
