Can someone give me the 2 sentence (or how ever many is adequate) to
what a forward slip procedure is?


When you drop one wing (let's say the right wing) by using the ailerons and use
rudder to turn the nose in the opposite direction (left, in this case), the
plane will fly sideways. That's a slip. If you fly the plane so that it
continues to fly the same course it was flying, that's a forward slip.

Here's a link to another explanation -
