Part of Lesson Plan: Ropes and Knots Terminology

Activity Overview / Details

The instructor should lay out the rope from a bitter end over a distance of several feet.  At that point the instructor should put a loop in the rope and another couple of feet, then a bight, then an elbow, and finally a round turn.

Students are directed to use a plain piece of paper, draw the rope lay out and label the different components.

Approximate time:  5 minutes
