~Meiosis...hmmmm...i'm a little confused at this topic...but I'll try my best to recall something about it.

Well, unlike Mitosis, Meiosis is not a cycle. It is a one-way process.There are two parts, Meiosis 1 and Meiosis 2. Meiosis 1 starts with Prophase 1 since Interphase comes before Meiosis. There are five stages in Prophase 1. These are Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene and Diakinesis.After Prophase 1 comes Metaphase , Anaphase 1 and Telophase 1. After that, there will be a resting period which is Interphase 2.Then, Meiosis 2 will start. I think Meiosis two is similar to Mitosis...hmm..but I'm not sure.

I cannot think of any teaching suggestions in teaching Meiosis. How can I? I cannot fully understand this topic. :( ~
