7. EXPERT JIGSAW

8. PROCESS: STEP 1: EXPERT GROUPS JOIN FORCES group of students assigned to the same reading segment or selection within their “expert group.” Students discuss their segment, fill out their direction sheet, and decide what and how they should present to their home groups.

9. STEP 2: “HOME” Groups Home groups are typically composed of one member from each expert group. Each expert student has read a different article and will need to teach the information to their home group. Students take notes, ask questions for clarification, and discuss information.

10. STEP 3: ASSESSMENT Individual projects Posters/Graphic organizers/ Summaries Tests Group projects Create a quiz with answers Group Pre-Test

11. OUR STEPS in today’s expert groups: 1) Join expert groups 2) Ice Breaker 3) Pre-reading question 4) Read article (aloud) 5) Group answers questions together, but each individual records these answers on the report sheet.

12. Home Groups: 1)Count off and then go to home groups 2)Ice Breaker 3)Share reports; each individual takes notes on each report 4) Assessment (no time, but essential to process)
