You will receive a paper with a piece of a puzzle and a topic for you to look up more information and become an "expert".

Each group has one person responsible for one chunk of the content. That person will be expected to teach that chunk to the rest of the group.

At this point, students don’t really interact with other members of their group; they just read and study their own chunk of content independently.

After each student has studied his or her chunk independently, they gather with all the other students who have been assigned to the same chunk.

These are called Expert Groups.

Step 5: Students return to Jigsaw Groups.

Now that students have studied their chunks in their expert groups, they return to their original jigsaw groups where students present to the TEACHER.

Once the first expert has gone, the others take their turns. As each “expert” teaches their chunk of content, the others in the group are learning it.

Quiz scores are given once to individual students, then each Jigsaw Group’s scores are averaged to generate a group score
