When I went through the demo skills portion. It was done like this. Demonstrate to your students by showing them and speaking to them. You are to assume the students do not know fully what you are doing. ( even though you are demoing to your instructor and other DM candidates)
So by speaking in the proper terminology you are also reinforce the actual demo of said skill. By speaking clearly and showing clearly where what goes and how it can be done. Helps the student understand fully.
Would you understand if I said « take this hose and connect it here» if this would be your first time in an OW course? Maybe for the first minute, then it is forgotten and you have to explain it again to said student. This has happened on several occasions when I assisted in OW courses where I was rushed to demo the skill...I got fed up of following the instructors rules and set my own by doing it right the first time.....l I find it works best when you explain the motion as you are doing it and using the right terminology for each part and asking if they understood what was done.
Depending on the size of class it was one at a time. This way if the other guy misses something you can learn from it.
Silence is golden when the reg is in your mouth and you can breath from it.
