Thanks, Gillian. It'd be interesting to learn about the actual responses. Did students think as much as you wanted them to? If not, did you take any steps to motivate them to think more? If so, which ones?
I am asking as in my experience (in a different subject, though) written tasks where we expect them to think often fail to serve the purpose. However, they do work well as context creators, meaning that it's easy to introduce a thinking task on the basis of students' written works. Do you see what I mean?

This can be so true. The pupils get lazy and just produce a short answer and think that it is enough. Would it help if there was just one problem/question which wouldn't have a quick right answer?
