- What is the overall response to this video, based on the tone and content of the comments read aloud? Were any of the comments abusive or inflammatory?
- Were any of the comments positive or encouraging?
- What was it like hearing that feedback aloud? Did the words make more of an impact when read aloud compared to when read silently?
- Do we feel aware of our comments on social media? Can they be traced back to us? Is the presence of a digital tattoo clearer now upon reflection than it was before this task?
