This document provides instructions and resources for completing a Jigsaw Activity using Albert.
In a Jigsaw, the class is divided into 3-4 teams, with each team learning about and preparing to teach a specific concept. When all team members are prepared, the class is re-divided into mixed groups that include one student from each of the original teams.
Once students are in their second group, they will take turns teaching their new group what they learned about. Students can score peers on their presentation of information. The group then tackles an assignment together that includes content from each of the original content areas.
