There are 10 multiple choice / gapfill questions to test how much students can understand of the narration.

How can Graham do a "superjump" in case of an accident if he's buckled up (=has his seat belts fastened)?

Have you ever been involved in a car accident?

Would you trade bodies with Graham to be safer on the roads?

How can we give ourselves the best protection against car crashes?

What should be the safety features of the cars of the future?

What should be the safety features of the roads of the future?

GOOGLE IT: You can direct students to the website of Project Graham and use it to design follow-up tasks: http://www.meetgraham.com.au/

You can ask students to google who commissioned the creation of Graham and why. In this case, you need to skip the last minute of the video, which reveals part of the answer.

Ask students which means of transport is the most dangerous. Of course, it's automobiles. Background info: "According to the National Safety Council, buses, trains, and airlines have much lower death rates than automobiles when the risk is expressed as passenger deaths per mile of travel.  In 2000, the passenger death rate in automobiles was 0.80 per 100 million passenger-miles. The rates for buses, trains, and airlines were 0.05, 0.03, and 0.02, respectively." https://www.infoplease.com/world/transportation/most-dangerous-mode-transportation

Ask the class if they've heard about Graham. Show a photo and elicit the reason why he looks this way ("he has evolved to survive car crashes").

Tell the class that they're going to watch an introduction of Graham's anatomy and answer listening comprehension questions.

The Australian Transport Accident Commission commissioned Project Graham. Graham is an imaginary human being who has evolved to survive car crashes. He is meant to serve as a catalyst for conversation and an educational tool. He’s a reminder of just how vulnerable our bodies really are when speed and impact forces as low as 30km/h are at play.
