How did your ideas and approach change over the course of the activity? Ho did your group operate? Who took the lead role? Was it hard to get everyone to listen? How did you resolve arguments? What did you remember? How? Were some statements harder than others to classify? What did you learn from the exercise? How do these skills link to real life? Where have you used these skills before? Where could you use it in future?
