what i normally teach varies with aircraft type (POH) but generally its point at it if coming towards you, point at it if overtakes you.
as for the approach, i teach treat every approach as if its a glide approach.
and what ever happened to Advanced Manoeuvre lessons?? flying at 2 ft isnt that hard with practice, and an hr or 2 spent with a student doing this will save many hrs practising circuits to master the flare and landing especially in trying conditions.
How many students at Bankstown go on to CPL and higher without ever practising Short fielders on Actual grass short fields?
it appears to me that things like strip runs, spins etc are rapidly disappearing from the curriculum (instructors repertoire of skills) in teaching people to "fly", and therefor anyone teaching such skills is quickly shot down by the other "professionals"
