The student is wearing a backpack and pointing to a yellow circle on the end of the path at the top right. At the bottom of the frame a teacher's hand is open and facing upwards at the beginning of the dotted path. Smaller yellow dots are placed along the path, near the teacher's hand and where the student is standing.
