The activity works in the following way: the teacher divides the students into pairs and tells them that s/he´s going to tell them a story. At certain points in the story s/he pauses and asks them to discuss something with their partner - to decide what a character who has just been introduced looks like (a good activity if you´ve just been working on describing people) or what the place where the story takes place is like, to decide what a character is thinking about, what is going to happen next etc. After the students have had time to discuss in pairs, the teacher asks for their ideas, chooses the version which fits the story (or if there isn´t one that´s suitable says, "No, none of you have guessed. In fact..." and then provides another version before continuing.
