You need to pick out the key points and try to remember them. • After 7 minutes, the info sheet will be collected back in. You will have to explain what it said, to the best of your ability/memory, to the rest of your table. • You can highlight points on the sheet, and jot down bullet points on the sheet, but you can’t write anything in your book or anywhere else at this stage.
