There are also oppositions between items not related to clothing, as for instance in the next example:

Learning with popplet

Go to www.popplet.com and create a popplet in the topic of fruits (using the example of the do now activity displayed below as a model).
Do-now: With the help of this diagram, write down in Spanish the names that correspond to each picture (remember that the names correspond to the category on the center!):




 What other fruits can you include in your new popplet?
Note: applications such as popplet can help us better understand categories when we use these visual classifications.
