Teacher in Role

Students are shown presentations screen by screen which build up into the storyline of Nasrin wanting to manipulate her own eye colour and then the musical ability of her unborn child. The screens include science information needed to understand the storyline. The teacher shows the images and works from scripted text.

Between some of the screens, students are asked to consider which people are involved in the story. The teacher becomes these characters, and in-role, answers the students' questions.
