Teaching Suggestions:
Explode and (Anything)
A) Review Explode the Wave (including Non-Standard applications)
B) For Waves it is important to emphasize that everyone Steps Thru and does a Quarter In.
(Standard Application experience often results in Boys turning Right and Girls turning left.)
C) For Lines it is important to emphasize that the Centers step ahead.
Quick quote for Waves: “Step Thru, Quarter In”
Quick quote for Lines: “Centers Ahead, Quarter In”
