33. ways you will apply this knowledge outside of the classroom

35. Jigsaw type of collaborative work students read and examine a portion of a reading assignment and report what they've learned to the entire group provides opportunities for small group interaction allows active engagement of all students varies ways in which students read and acquire information from their reading

36. How to JigSaw- Home/Expert Groups Divide the entire class into HOME GROUPS according to the number of passages to be read/examined. Each participant of each HOME group receives a number. If the HOME group has 4 participants, each group has members who are numbered 1-2-3-4. Each member of a HOME group receives a different reading assignment/article/passage/chapter. All number 1 members of each HOME group would have the same article, as would all number 2 members, etc.

38. Members of the EXPERT group then return to their HOME groups, and each member shares his/her expertise and knowledge with the HOME group.
