J page provided numbered spaces for subjects to list 10 examples of things they owned and 10 examples of things they did not own. The instructions for the first section were as follows: Complete the column on the left first, and then do the column on the right. Do not jump back and forth between lists. Just list examples however they come to mind. It is most important that you do these listings in one sitting, without help or discussion.
