  1. JIGSAW METHOD – EFFICIENT TEACHING Teaching Techniques by Lida Amiri

  2. Monday, 4/22/13 • Day Planner: Word Generation, Close Reading/Jigsaw • Bell Work: Do you think handguns should be illegal? Why or why not?

  3. Chinese proverb Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand

  4. Teaching methods • Traditional method is the frontal teaching • Students should be active learners instead of passive audience • Students have to be engaged to speak and learn in the target language

  5. Jigsaw method • Class divided into groups of experts • Each group will read one text and take notes • New groups will be formed: • Each new group will have one expert from the former group • Each expert will tell his/her peers about his topic. Group members take notes.

  6. Jigsaw method

  7. Lesson Plan “Manifest Destiny & Indian Removal“ • Groups are formed and texts are handed out; indepedently completes Close Reading strategy • New expert groups are formed • 5 min • Each expert presents his primary source doc, decide on possible answers to your margin questions (from step 3) • 10 min • Experts returned to orginal groups to present their documents & compare & contrast. • 20 min

  8. 4. Expert Groups: Write Possible Answers • Consider possible answers to step 3 questions. • Use context knowledge from the surrounding text to gather answers. • If context doesn’t help, define allusions, unfamiliar words, or cryptic statements • Brainstorm as many possible answers you can

  9. 5. Expert Groups:Rule Out Weak Answers • Look at your answers and rule out any that seem more inductive rather than deductive. • deductive reasoning - moves from general to specific to form a conclusion • Inductive reasoning – moves from specific to general and supports rather than proves a conclusion • Keep only possible answers that seem to have a relation to the text and make sense of the events and patterns

  10. 6. Expert Groups:Expand Upon the Possible • Pick the best of your answers and expand upon your thinking • Step 4 asks you to brainstorm answers • Step 6 asks you to explain your answers in full detail

  11. 7. Jigsaw Groups:Present • Return to your jigsaw groups • Share/present your document one at a time to your group • You can choose to complete this in a clockwise fashion

  12. 8. Jigsaw Group:Compare & Contrast • Choose a “recorder” from your group • Brainstorm/compare & contrast for each document • Create a venn diagram
