Jigsaw

Form a group of 4 and number off 1 through to 4. Allocate one of the following topic areas to each student. This is your 'Home Group'. Each student must make a summary of all information, for their allocated section, using the Cornell Note Making method. This may take place at home, using a Flipped Learning approach. Return to class and join with other students who summarised the same information (all 'number 1 students'). This is your 'Expert Group'. Share your summarised information and clear up any misunderstandings and questions. Then return to your 'Home Group' and share your expertise. 

Be sure to make a summary of each topic area, as presented by your peers. 

All information gathered by group members can then be used to help the group address the following question (informal written response):
