A chart builds up one row of opposites at a time. A hand shows that we feel rough wood and smooth glass, then a hard metal spoon and soft squashy cloth. An eye shows that we see shiny foil and a dull plastic bucket. It ends on the one-line recap "Rough or smooth, hard or soft, shiny or dull" while each pair is highlighted in turn.
