" summary

Shows concrete teaching moves: copies repeated material onto the same page (the torn page effect) to avoid page flipping, merges printf verb table, code and output with inline output comments to avoid split attention, and annotates code samples. Breaks big projects into a smaller grading micro-exercise for the number‑guessing game so students practice parsing, conditionals and loops separately. Uses metaphors (slice = inbox, map = file drawer) and recommends fill‑in‑the‑blank exercises that force practice of interfaces.
