Jesse was teaching a class lecture, and wrote down their lecture on the board.
- (Jesse) I had to give a lecture to a class today for my internship.
- Interesting. How did it go?
- I decided to write everything down on the board, so I could skip around and answer questions. It didn't go so well.

- The students couldn't keep track because of me skipping around and I got a lot of repeat questions.
- That's frustrating. Perhaps you should just let the students take notes while you talk next time.
