What would you do if...? That's a great question, and, when posed to learners with visual impairments, a question that can foster concept development and speaking and problem-solving skills that relate to real-life situations. The instructor asks a series of what if questions and the class take turns explaining what they would do. Build sequencing skills by requiring pupils to answer using first, next, and finally.
