How did I use it in a lesson?
Recently, my class have been studying onomatopoeia as part of a unit of work on poetry. I asked my students to create images which represented the words:

- Shared video reflections at the end of a unit.
- Group research – text, web links etc.
- A class word bank.
- How about setting some questions and asking the students to comment with answers? Here’s one I did in maths:
