Cmcl 223

2. What is it?
 Jigsaw activity = A method of group
learning
1. Each one of you studies a specific topic
2. Each one of you shares what s/he has
learned
3. You all discuss various topics of interest or
of difficulty
individually you learn a part
collectively you get the whole picture.

3. Step 1: pick a part
to study
 Use the sign-up sheet posted in the wiki section of the
site.
The choices include
Group 1: Relating to others at work
Group 2: Verbal and Non-verbal messages
Group 3: Listening

4. Step 2: study
 Pay attention to the concepts and theories
 Think how examples in the text explain the concepts
and theories
 Reflect how these concepts and theories relate to what
we have studies before.

5. Step 3: prepare learning
materials for the group
 Summarize the reading in not more than 10 powerpoint
slides.
 Include the following information:
 most important concepts and theories,
 brief examples to illustrate,
 at least one connection to what we studied before
 at least one question for discussion.

6. Technical details
 For creating visuals
1. Chapter 13 (pp. 323-327).
2. A sarcastic video about what to avoid in Power Point slides Life
After Death PowerPoint
 For sharing the slides
1. Use SlideShare to post the presentation
2. Slide share does not transfer animations, so I do not recommend
using this feature in your slides.
3. Embed the presentation posted on SlideShare into a post in the
Forum. This quick reference describes which code to use.
4. Follow the same instructions for embedding as you do for the
video.

7. Step 4: Discussions
After you post,
- Study the material suggested by your colleagues in the forum.
- Respond to the questions posted by your colleagues, focusing on
applying the reading from this or previous weeks’ chapters and other
materials that we have studied
- Care for the thread that you have started, by responding to the
comments and helping others
