I wrote a guide on how to teach Root! (or at least how I teach it) (teachroot.yay.boo)

I've taught Root to people a bunch of times. This was supposed to be a quick dump of my mental notes, but I ended up putting in so much effort that I decided I might as well publish it. Maybe it will help someone.

I include teaching tips, explain how I deliver the teach, and outline rough talking points in each section. How is everyone else teaching games?

This is really cool! My teach is usually a very similar order to what you list, but its nice to have something like this written down. I will probably steal this.

For the Woodland Alliance, I usually deacribe them as "playing Pandemic, as the disease". You are spreading around everywhere, and can pop up suddenly to devastate someone's clearing if they aren't keeping you in check.

Oh, that's a good example. I could never think of one.
