I’m not saying that you didn’t already know this:

Approval can be regarded as a generalization of 1-vote Plurality as follows: 
Plurality lets you vote a set of one candidate better than the candidates 
not in that set. Approval generalizes that by letting you vote any set 
better than the candidates not in that set.  For any two mutually exclusive 
sets, you can vote one over the other.

That may be the best description of what Approval is, but would it be a good 
way to introduce Approval to people?
