The jigsaw model that we learned about was a cooperative lesson where students get into groups. How we did our jigsaw was we got into our initial groups and chose a topic we were going to learn about and make a powerpoint about. Then we got into another group of the people who chose the same topic as you. During the time you get to create your lesson about the topic. After we complete the powerpoint we got back into our original groups where we shared what we learned about the topic. We all got to learn about what our other classmates were learning about. I loved that the students got to be the "teachers". Its a great way for the students to become hands on and engaged in Social Studies. Learning about the jigsaw made me want to use it in my own classroom!
