This EFL lesson plan is designed around a short film titled Touchable Memories by Marco Aslan, and the theme of photos and memories. In the film five people who have lost their sight share their stories about how they “see” a photograph.

The moving short film explores how 3D printing can help the blind “see” photographs for the first time, by offering a tangible version of a still photograph. Students describe a photo which is important to them and describe the memories it brings back. They talk about blind people and memories. They watch a short film, make notes, and speculate about how blind people “see” photos.
