Tell it back
Tell what you learned in your own words. What you write stays on this device only, and no one else reads it.
- Where would you start if you told this to a friend?
- What surprised you or did you like most?
- Sum it up in two sentences of your own.
Writing here needs JavaScript; the prompts read and print without it.
Write at least two sentences, or tick that you told it, to earn the stamp in your passport.
