+Define the workflow activities you'd like your workflow to perform. Activities are wrapped in an `ActivityWrapper` class for the `TaskActivityFactory`. In the following example, the activity wrapper and its constructor are defined:
 
 ```java
-todo
+public class ActivityWrapper<T extends WorkflowActivity> implements TaskActivityFactory {
+  private final Constructor<T> activityConstructor;
+  private final String name;
+
+  public ActivityWrapper(Class<T> clazz) {
+    this.name = clazz.getCanonicalName();
+    try {
+      this.activityConstructor = clazz.getDeclaredConstructor();
+    } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
+      throw new RuntimeException(
+          String.format("No constructor found for activity class '%s'.", this.name), e
+      );
+    }
+  }
