Use four phases to plan teaching, readiness checks, practice and independent application. The guide includes three readiness questions, an illustrative Year 8 Digestion and Nutrition example and six planning boxes. Type into the PDF and save a copy, or print and write. All three downloads are available without signing in.

This is a proposed routine accompanying DEEP Dispatch 022. The phases can span several lessons; the Minnesota report has not tested a one-in-four timetable.

Teach, then check readiness
