Not a lawyer but was the foreman on a jury in Toronto a few years ago.
We weren't given any specific structure to follow, just directions by the judge and then set free to deliberate.
We tried to go through the evidence as best as possible and took votes periodically. Some jurors made their opinions pretty clear before we even got to deliberation though.
