Have a real doll or teddy bear or something in front of you to be a terminal you can say things to. Don't just talk out into open space and imagine someone or something there.

  1. This is Drill 2. Imagine some situation where it would be appropriate, and then say in as natural a tone as you can, "I'm sure those are not the right words".

  2. Click on Drill 2. You will hear the student say, "As you wish", in a manner that ends the communication cycle.

  3. Grade the student's action by saying aloud "Flunk! It didn't continue the cycle. Start!".

  4. Enter your coaching grade into the computer by clicking on the "Student gave ack that ended cycle--Flunk" link.

  5. Note the "Correct" grade given to your coaching action, and close out the movie.

  6. Repeat these steps if you need to.
