Basic Practical 3
Full Demo Exchange
PC = Person Helping
PBC = Person Being Helped
PC: Is there something that you wanna talk about?
PBC: Thought for a few seconds
Maybe.
Something about how the close happened before we tried to add more.
PC: and?
PBC: Thought for a few seconds
And the close protected the example.
It stopped the exchange before it became too much to teach clearly.
PC: Are you okay with that?
PBC: Thought for a couple of seconds
Yes.
The close fit the purpose.
It protected the basic lesson instead of stretching it into a bigger explanation.
PC: so?
PBC: So the basic lesson may be:
A good close can protect the learning.
It does not have to finish everything. It only needs to stop at the point where the move is clear enough to notice.
PC: Is this a good place to close?
PBC: Thought for a couple of seconds
Yes.
This is a good place to close.
The lesson stayed small:
close → protect the example → preserve the learning.
That is enough for basic practice.
