  "summary": "A sketch makes missing connections harder to hide.",
  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "Build a simple drawing as you explain a process aloud. Use arrows for actual relationships, not decoration. Research on drawing while explaining supports trying this generative task; the value of your sketch still depends on whether the explanation is correct.",
  "limits": [
    "Do not invent arrows to make the picture look complete. Artistic polish is not the learning target."

      "claim": "In the respiratory-system study, students who drew while explaining outperformed explain-only and draw-only groups on the later posttest.",

  "use_when": [
    "Your explanation lists components but leaves their relationships unclear."

    "Do not invent arrows to make the picture look complete. Artistic polish is not the learning target."

  "example": "You sketch a request moving from an application to a queue and a receiver, and discover that you cannot explain what happens after a timeout.",
  "check": "Can you predict what changes when one connection fails, rather than merely redraw the boxes?",
  "steps": [
    "Begin with a blank page and the starting state.",
    "Add each component only when you explain its role and connection.",
    "Compare the finished account with a trusted source, then explain a variation."
