8. JIGSAW (Collaboration, Discussion)
Description: The students will work in planned teams in which each student’s part is needed to complete the product.
Application: This method helps students to be actively engaged while learning new materials, reviewing previously learned materials and perfecting listening skills.
Process: Place students into groups. Divide the lesson into the same number of parts as students within each group. Assign one student from each group to a section of text or material, usually with some guiding questions. Direct students to form new groups (expert groups) and all the experts from the same topic meet together to work on the important points of the section they are covering. After students have finished preparing their questions, have them go back to their original groups and take turns teaching their “expert information” while others are taking notes. When all students have finished teaching their section to their group, have students complete an assignment.
