Instructions for teachers
Put the students into pairs. In each pair, sit one student with their back to the TV/ projector screen. If there is one group of three, two of the three sit so that they cannot see the TV.
The one student in each group who can see what is happening will describe what they can see to their partner. The person listening can ask them questions about what is happening, but they cannot tell them anything that is written on their worksheets or ask the person watching to make predictions. When the teacher pauses the tape, let them describe what they can see on the paused screen for a few seconds and then tell all the people watching the video to be quiet. The people with their back to the screen should then choose one of the sentences they have on their worksheet as their prediction for what will happen next, and tell the teacher what their prediction is.

Worksheet for Student B (“blind” student)
Instructions
Read through the worksheet and ask your teacher about any words you don’t understand.
Listen to your partner explaining what is happening in the video WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE SCREEN. You can ask your partner questions about what is happening, but you can’t tell them what is written on your worksheet and you can’t ask for their predictions of what will happen next.
When the teacher pauses the video, choose one of sentences below and tell the class your prediction. Your partner will then watch the next segment and check whether your prediction is correct or not.
