The Jigsaw Method

https://youtu.be/euhtXUgBEtsStep 1 Divide students into groups of 5 or 6

Step 2 Appoint one student from each group as the leader

Step 3 Divide the day’s lesson into 5-6 segments.

Step 4 Assign each student to learn one segment.

Step 5 Give students time to learn their segment by reading or watching the content at least twice and become familiar with it.

Step 6 Form temporary “expert groups” where every student in the group has just learnt the same segment.

Step 7 Bring the students back into their original groups.

Step 8 Ask each student to present their segment to the group

Step 9 Float from group to group and observe the process.

Step 10 At the end of the session, assess the material.
