Drag sentences into a custom-made diagram

Of course, Classkick will not be able to 'mark' students' answers. Hence, one way to use this function is to do it as a teacher-fronted and teacher-led activity, engaging the whole class. If you have a smartboard, so much the better. 

Below is one such example which I have created. Students drag the 7 sentences into an incomplete mindmap.
