People with visual agnosia must put together small pieces of
information to make sense of their environment. It is like
putting together a jigsaw puzzle without the cover picture. Ask
students to make their own "jigsaw puzzles" from a page of a
magazine. The page should be cut into no more than a dozen
pieces. Students can then trade their collections of pieces and
assemble one another's puzzles. How many pieces did they have to
put together before they knew what the picture was? What clues
did they use to piece the puzzle together and figure out the
image?
After Watching

Create a brainstorming grid with your students to see how
combining senses such as hearing and touch can help people to
identify visual images. At the top of the grid, write types of
sounds. Ask students to name types of sounds and list them
across the top of the board (i.e., quiet, shrill, etc.). Along
the side of the grid, write types of textures. In a similar way,
list how different things feel down the side of the board (i.e.,
sticky, cold, etc.). Create a grid so that each of the
attributes are connected. For example, the first block might be
"quiet and sticky." Ask the class to think of something to fit
into each box (for example, a slug could be both quiet and
sticky).
