Method 2: **// JIGSAW //**


 * Steps in the Jigsaw Approach: **
 * 1) Divide a reading assignment into four numbered setions.
 * 2) Set up groups made up of 4 students by numbering off 1-4. Distribute the four-part reading assignment. Each group has the entire reading assignment, with each student having a different one of the four sections.
 * 3) Give students time to read the sections silently.
 * 4) Have all students who read the first section meet in one corner of the room, those reading the second section in another corner and so on. Each group will check their recall and understanding of what they read so they'll be prepared to share it with their home group. Depending on the nature of the selection, the teacher may wish to have a worksheet for students to complete in these section groups.
 * 5) Students return to their home groups and share, in order, the important information from their section of reading.
