criteria
  1. TDET 4 bands present
  2. ≥3 features used

Hints
  1. Features word-bank: size, color, shape, sound, smell, parts, function.
  2. Layer features in a loose order — big-to-small or appearance-to-function.
Misconceptions to watch
  • Lists features in scattered order.
  • Uses vague features ('big', 'colorful') instead of specific ones ('half an inch long', 'golden-orange and black').
