ELT365 · Day 177 — Jigsaw Reading

📚60-Day ELT Masterclass — This post is part of an ongoing series. View full index →

Idea — In jigsaw reading, different groups read different texts, then regroup to share information. Nobody has the full picture until everyone contributes.

Example — Three groups read three articles on the same topic, then form mixed groups of three to piece the full story together.

Try — Split a long text into three topic-based sections. Assign one per group. What information must learners get from each other to complete the task?
