The walkthrough · Press play and follow along
Five pauses, one page.
The page is read aloud and captioned. Five pause cards come up — the notches below the player are marked A to E. Pause at each one and write. Anything you don't know, write NOT KNOWN, so nobody wonders.
Turn the sound up. The five cards are listed with their times further down this page — jump back to the one you're on.
Your page
Write it as you go.
Tick each pause as you finish it. The next step opens when the page is done — and the page is what goes on the refrigerator door.
