Ss return to their desks after lunchtime. PMI chart
T has previous placed a Plus, minus, interesting chart on each
of their desks.
Ss are to complete this chart individually based on their

Ss are then asked if they would like to add anything to do it, as
a reflection of the visit. (This may be a point from their PMI

Once the criteria has been set, T shows them the example of
an enclosure they have created using craft items.
Class then discuss how this model meets the classes criteria.
T reinforces that they will have this lesson and one lesson next
week to complete their models.
Ss are then dismissed in groups to begin creating the
enclosure.

Students are to work together and share the minutes the craft items they will use before the T supplies groups with Craft items
