Divide into groups of six people each. This is your Home Group.
Number off from 1 to 6 so that each person in the group has a number.
Each member of the Home Group will be responsible for learning and teaching one "chunk" of content to your peers, assigned by the number you have.
Take a look at your content chunk.
Go join your Expert Group, the people who have the same number as you, to begin the activity.
Working alone in your Expert Group
Study your assigned resource for 8 minutes.
Jot down the big takeaways, the key points, and/or the must-knows. This jigsaw notes organizer will come in handy.
Return to your Home Group. You now have just two minutes each to teach the others in your group what each Expert learned. Use the resources/notes you created as you share.
The Jigsaw Method doesn't work unless we assess the learning. So now, individually, please draw your responses to the following questions:
What does Hattie’s research mean to you as an educator?
What are the take aways?
What is one strategy shared in resources that works?
