Google Slides: Jigsaw Activity
Continuing with my love for Google this week is an activity your students can do using Google Slides. I know many are using this concept in your classrooms already. Using Slides will take it one step further on the SAMR scale.
Many of you are familiar with jigsaw: you divide up a chapter or unit into separate parts and assign those sub parts to student groups. For example, you divide up Chapter 5 into the different subheadings. Each group is assigned one section and are to become the experts on that section. They are then responsible for teaching the rest of the class their section. Individual sections as opposed to group is also a possibility.
Using Google Slides for this activity will ensure accountability as well as make the jigsaw/chapter/unit come back together as a whole.
To assign this activity, make a copy of this template and assign it to your Google Classrooms as "students can edit." It's incredibly basic, so you can always modify it to look the way you'd like. Add one slide for each group to include topic and group members' names. Students will then collaborate on the same Google Slide presentation. Doing so will make a seamless presentation when all groups are completed.

Alice Keeler gives her directions below, but again, do what works best for you and your class.
This is another great activity to leave for a sub!
