students are progressing.

Once students have had their ten minutes I ask if anyone

wants to show the class what they have done so far
Hopefully one student volunteers (if not I will ask someone
that I know progressed quite a lot) and get them to display
their work on the projector
I use their work to ask students what they think is good
about their representation of the changing role of women
during WWI to test heir knowledge
