Invitations: I will invite 2 students at a time to come do this activity
with me since not everyone will be able to do it at once. I will do this
activity with the whole class because my supervisor wants everyone
to do it.

Questions: I will ask questions as the students are doing the activity.
I will ask questions like, what food group does this food belong to?
or what types of foods help your muscles grow?
