Abstract

A kit comprising rotating element sheet material, a highlighting implement, and an erasing implement, a binder, and a method of use. The rotating element sheet material comprises a plurality of first rotatable elements and a plurality of second rotatable elements disposed in a substrate. Each first rotatable element in the plurality has a first collection of responses to incident electromagnetic radiation of interest. One response in the first collection renders the first rotatable element transparent-clear to incident electromagnetic energy of interest, and a second response renders the first rotatable element opaque to incident electromagnetic energy of interest. The first rotatable element also exhibits a first work function. Likewise, each second rotatable element has a second collection of responses to incident electromagnetic radiation of interest. A first response in the second collection renders the second rotatable element transparent-clear to the incident electromagnetic energy of interest. A second response renders the second rotatable element transparent-colored to the incident electromagnetic energy of interest. The second rotatable elements also exhibit a second work …
