{{activity|wcd|: Discussion of the audio clip.|5}} In this case Agness has given well thought out responses to the talking points and has captured her own views about group work well. As a whole group, think about the following questions:
*  Were Agness's opinions affected by taking part in the workshop discussion about group work?
*  What learning took place for Agness during the 10 talking point discussion on group work?
The reality is that we can't answer these questions because the reflection, whilst detailed and comprehensive doesn't make explicit the participant's learning journey.  Phrases like " initially I thought...but then someone made the comment that...which made me think that perhaps...'' in your reflections are a way of reminding yourself how your thoughts and ideas are being developed as a result of taking part in this programme.
