A walkthrough follows a real sequence step by step. Its value lies in exposing the joins: what changed, what information became available, and why the next step followed from the previous one.
01How the architecture unfolds
- Establish the starting state.
- Reveal one step or event.
- Pause to name what changed and why.
- Ask students to predict the next move.
- Complete the sequence and reconstruct its logic.
02The work on each side
Teacher moves
- Think aloud at decision points
- Keep earlier states visible
- Separate sequence from causal explanation
Student moves
- Track
- Predict
- Annotate transitions
- Retell
03What would count as learning?
- Students can explain why each step follows
- Students can apply the sequence to a parallel case
04Across the curriculum
Continuity editing
Assemble a scene cut by cut and name the spatial problem each edit solves.
Completing the square
Make every transformation and its justification visible before fading support.
