We conducted a jigsaw activity in our science classroom. We were assigned groups these groups were called our base group. Then, each member of our group was assigned a kingdom. Next, we found the members of the other groups who were assigned the same kingdom. We met with all the people who were assigned to research the same kingdom as us. This group was called our expert group. We met as experts on our kingdom to design an activity and a way to teach the rest of our base group about our kingdom. Finally we met with our base group and each member had created a minilesson on their kingdom. I had never heard of this strategy before but I loved it! It was fun and interesting and the best way to learn is to teach! Each student became an expert in a subject and after teaching that subject we truly were experts!
