Jigsaw Reading

Jigsaw Reading Activity
Divide participants into small, heterogeneous groups.

Each group should select one person to be the leader.

Divide the articles between the groups and assign each group member one segment to read.

Distribute recording sheets to group members so they can take notes.

Give the group members time to read their segments.

Form “expert groups” and have the “expert groups” discuss the main points of their segment.

Have participants move back into their jigsaw groups and present his or her segment.

Other group members should ask clarifying questions.

Reconvene as a whole group to discuss findings and clarify any questions.
