+ | Teaching Points:\\ | ||
+ | Al and A2: See diagram on page 56.\\ | ||
+ | BI 1-2 and 7-8: Each hands across for three is really halfway for the 1s and 3s but a bit more for the 2s on the 1* one and a bit less on the 2" one. 2s need to make a big arc coming out of the R-hands across to end in 2" place on their own side. We generally teach the 1s and 3s their part (as hand turns) and then have the 2s join in.\\ | ||
