The steps

Using them one at a time? Copy each step as you go.

  1. Step 1. Explain this to me as if I am completely new to it: [What do you want explained?]. Here is what I already know: [What do you already know about it?]. Start with the idea in two or three plain sentences, no jargon. Then give me one everyday comparison (something from cooking, driving, sports or home life) that shows how it works. Then explain the three things people most often get wrong or confused about, one short paragraph each. If a word has to be technical, say it and explain it right there in brackets. If my description of what I know suggests I have something backwards, gently correct it. If the topic could mean more than one thing, ask me which one before explaining.

  2. Step 2. Now check I got it. Ask me three quick questions about what you just explained, one at a time, and wait for my answer to each. Keep them simple enough to answer in a sentence. After each answer tell me if I was right, and if I was not, explain that bit again a different way. At the end, list any gaps you noticed and fill them in with one or two sentences each.
