Thanks for asking! Our rationale for recommending a ‘rapid’ do now is that it should be an independent activity that typically involves no (or minimal) guidance from the teacher. The do now should take three to five minutes to complete. This not only makes it more rigorous and engaging, but it also helps teachers to hold students more accountable because they can see whether they are doing it. A rapid do now allows teachers to check for understanding, allowing them to decide which questions to review (leading on to a review now) and maybe who to call on for a good answer or a common mistake. We hope this helps, feel free to ask further questions.
Can you outline your rational for recommending that the Do Now be "rapid?"
