# Teaching the 12 Principles Effectively
Teaching animation principles requires meeting students where they are. Here's how to communicate each principle at different levels.
## Teaching Strategies by Principle
### 1. Squash and Stretch
**Show first:** Bouncing ball exercise - universal, immediate, undeniable.
**Common confusion:** Students preserve shape instead of volume. Use clay demonstration.
**Key phrase:** "Volume stays the same, shape changes."
### 2. Anticipation
**Show first:** Video of real athletes - every jump has a crouch.
**Common confusion:** Making anticipation too large or too long.
