Here is a novice 1 run from a previous virtual trial, you’re welcome to use it to show your students

Your homework this week is:
 
a)  Mark out 30 feet (wiith cones, lawn chairs, whatever at the 0 and 30 feet marks
b)  Video yourself with the camera set to 0.5x (wider angle) walking from one end to the other in that 30 feet (to see if you are visible throughout)
c)  The same signs as last week though do feel free to place a 180 degree turn around sign in the mix to make it easier to fit in.   You do not have to use your dog if you do not want.  I urge you to look at the (attached) rule book and the descriptions of the signs can be seen starting on page 25.

Here is an example of videoing oneself walking a measured 30 foot line (between the cones) with the camera on 0.5x zoom and 15 feet away from the 30 foot line on a tripod:
