I show this video to students as part of the pre flight briefing for the slow flight and stalling exercise.
Some power on, rapid stick back and simultaneous full rudder. Flick roll. Sad. Awful.

Not quite the scenario being discussed here but one I think has happened many times in GA and students need to have thought about (and even better simulated dual at altitude) is with a rough running engine, ie partial power, trying to stretch a glide to make a field and needing to turn the aircraft to line up with the field and also having a wariness to bank the aeroplane low to the ground so the pilot unconsciously starts booting in rudder to skid the aeroplane around onto final.

I sometimes used to set up that scenario (at altitude and with a briefing beforehand of course) with some students and on BFRs.

My old man had a rhyme he was taught ab initio in the RAAF on Tiger Moths
Watch him spin, watch him burn, held off bank in a gliding turn
