Use diagrams to reduce confusion.

The idea in plain language

A simple sketch can make positions and sightlines easier to compare than prose alone.

Start with the reason behind the idea. Reading it once can create familiarity; explaining it in a different example is a better way to check what you understood.

What to notice

Describe the information you have, and name anything that remains uncertain. Avoid filling in the missing part just because the situation looks familiar.

A useful response

Draw only those objects and label the uncertainty.

Take it into your next session

Choose a small example of your own. Explain the clue, the reason and the response in that order, then make a note of what you would check with an official source or instructor.

Keep a thought for later
