Transum,
The Starter called Cat Face may be more suitable for your class. It is more of a standard reflection activity with controls to allow the teacher to select vertical, horizontal or a diagonal mirror line. There is also a choice of four different comic faces intended to motivate pupils to make a good job of the task. Transum subscribers also have access to a button which superimposes the answers onto the diagram.
