deliver the shell lesson exactly as written so I teach that with a

teaching Python I've printed my completed notebooks to refer to during
lectures.

I think folks go both ways. I've heard of folks using a separate
laptop or a split screen so they can see the lesson notes, using
note-cards with a condensed version of commands to hit, and just
reading over the lesson several times and then winging it. I think
the note-less approach makes it easy to keep a pulse on student
engagement, but a lot of time has gone into tuning the current
ordering of commands within lessons. Striking the right balance
without the prep-time to learn both the current ordering and
supporting reasoning (so you know when you should break from the usual
script) by heart will be an individual-instructor decision.
Cheers,
Trevor
