LESSON NOTES

Whenever a topic is supported by both a screen projection and

animated video, you will have a menu. Choosing “Animation”

will begin the animated sequence. You can exercise full control

over the animation to show it all, pause the sequence whenever

you want to point something out, and even repeat the sequence

as necessary. Choosing “Diagram” will call up the screen

projection, which will be a ribbon diagram or spaghetti diagram

of the maneuver. Use your own discretion as to which you show

first, and continue the lesson by choosing “Continue” at the end

of the menu.
