- Put your hand up if you have answered question one and two
- If not address the students who haven’t and assign it to them for homework
- ‘Who got started with some ideas for their design briefs
- ‘Put your hands on your head if you think you have a good idea of what sustainability is’
- ‘Put your finger on your nose if you think you know what sustainable development is’
