Plan an explainx live session around a small number of decisions learners can practice. Include demonstration, independent work, and feedback in the agenda.

## Set the sequence

Start with the task and a quick check of prerequisites. Demonstrate a small example while explaining your choices. Give learners a related task and make the expected output visible before they start.

## Prepare for different speeds

Offer a simple starting version and an optional extension. Keep a working example ready for learners whose tool setup fails. Tell everyone where to ask for help without interrupting others’ progress.

## Finish with a useful check

Ask learners to review their output against the criteria and explain one decision. Collect unresolved questions in the classroom’s Doubts area. Share the next step and any promised resources. A session is successful when learners can apply the method, not when every slide has been shown.
