Ask students to explain the stages with
biological terms.
In the guiding phase, teacher will use
language such as:
T: “What should I think of first when I
–
think about nuclear division?”
SS: “There are four phases: the
–
prophase, metaphase, anaphase and
telophase – in that order.”
T: “OK. And tell me what happens in
–
the prophase and, by the way, how do
I know it is the first phase – what in its
name tells me it is the first phase?"
SS: " ... etc"
