Narrative:

Reporter and a student were practicing lndgs in closed pattern. Just after turning from crosswind to downwind, the other aircraft passed over us to the downwind. We were slightly below pattern altitude and the other airplane was slightly above, or a collision would have been very likely. No evasive action was taken since we were clear by the time we saw the other plane.
