Step two

Have students list at least three sub items of the previous generic item. (Example: if you chose Clothing then hat, shirt ,pants, and socks would all be appropriate )

Step three

Have three students come up to the board and write as many methods for the interface within 2-3 minutes.

getSleeveLength();
getBrandName();
getPrice();
