Slides: (1) Title — 'The Mechanics of Transit: Navigation Vocabulary'; (2) Prepositions of Movement — bullets: definitions and diagrams for 'to', 'from', 'through', 'across', 'over', and 'under'; (3) Structural Enclosures — bullets: visual contrast between going 'under' a bridge and going 'through' a hall; (4) Relative Position — bullets: spatial terms 'behind' and 'in front of' applied to campus buildings; (5) Verbs of Speed and Scale — bullets: comparing 'walk' vs 'run' and how driving changes scale to moving 'through' a city; (6) Directional Perspective — bullets: contrast between 'come' (toward me) and 'go' (away from me); (7) Video Clip Integration — prompt: short visual illustrating natural phrasing in English; (8) Application Check — prompt: quick check on starting and ending points using 'to' and 'from'.
