Jigsaw Strategy
Jigsaw is a cooperative learning strategy that gives all students an opportunity to participate and help each other build comprehension. Each group member is an "expert" at their specific topic/section; once they have mastered their topic/section they teach it to other classmates from different groups. The students learn from each other and learn the material in an engaging way. Here is a video explaining the strategy.
