+## Overview
+
+This directory contains an example implementation of a session that 
+instantiates a single element proposer. 
+
+The element proposer connects to the [`ElementManager`]() service offered by the
+session, and uses said service to add a [`simple_element`]() to the session.
+
+The `simple_element` then connects to the [`ElementPing`] service exposed to it
+by the session, and throug it notifies the session that it has been successfully
+instantiated.
+
+## Element Session
+
+The element session is configured to:
+
+  1. Declare a static child: the [`element_proposer`]().
+  2. Declare a child collection with a name which matches the one passed to the
+  [`ElementManagement`]() library.
+  3. Expose the `ElementManager` service.
+  4. Expose the `ElementPing` service.
+  5. Offer the `ElementManager` service to the `element_proposer` child.
+  6. Offer the `ElementPing` service to the child collection mentioned above.
+
+Details of how this is done can be found in the [`element_session.cml`]() file.
+
+Once the session is launched, it exposes the aforementioned services and starts
+handling requests.
+
+## Element Proposer
+
+The element proposer is configured to:
+
+  1. Use the `ElementManager` service.
+  
+Details of how this is done can be found in the [`element_proposer.cml`]() file.
+
+Once the element proposer is started it connects to the `ElementManager` service
+and attempts to add an element (`simple_element`) to the session.
+
+## Simple Element
+
+The simple element is configured to:
+
+  1. Use the `ElementPing` service.
+  
+Details of how this is done can be found in the [`simple_element.cml`]() file.
+
+Once the simple element is started, it will call `ElementPing::Ping()`. The
+session will receive the ping and log a confirmation.
+
+
+## How to Run
+
+To run the example, first edit the session manager cml file to set the element
+session's component url as the argument:
+
+```
+"args": [ "-s", "fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/element_session#meta/element_session.cm" ],
+```
+
+TODO(37028): Update this when sessions can be configured without modifying the
+session manager's CML file.
+
+Then run the following commands:
+
+```$sh
+fx set core.x64 --with //src/session:session_framework --with //src/session:examples
+fx build
+fx shell run fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/component_manager_sfw#meta/component_manager_sfw.cmx fuchsia-pkg://fuchsia.com/session_manager#meta/session_manager.cm
+```
+
+The last command should output a message stating that the element's ping has
+been received.
