“Develop a passion for learning. If you do , you will never cease to grow.”

- Anthony J. D’Angelo

I-3 Protocol (Activity; Strategy)

Protocol: Jigsaw

CIF Strategies: Classroom Talk, Literacy Groups, Scaffolding, Questioning

Time Required: 15-30 minutes or more (depending on the length of text)

Notes: Exper ience has taught that students—particularly younger students—

need additional supports (ie: key vocabulary, graphic organizers or thinking maps,

etc.) to help them pick out the most important information when in their expert

groups. Also, a note: taking template provided by the teacher (for step 5) is also

helpful.

1) Students get into “home base” groups.

2) Students number off and read an assigned section of a text, determined by their

number.

3) Students meet in “expert groups” (all students from different home base groups,

each with the same number) to discuss their assigned section and become

“experts” on it.

4) Students meet in home base groups and share their learning with each other.

5) Other students take notes when group members are speaking. They should also

note questions and ask them of the speaker after his/her material has been pre-

sented.

6) Teacher calls upon groups or specific group members to share out key learning

and ask lingering questions.

required to prevent an accident.

Do not reach too high for some-thing that may fall on you. Use a

small set of steps, a ladder, or ask

for help.

When it is necessary to climb---use a ladder, not a chair, stool, desk or

box. Be sure the ladder is secured.

Never leave an unsafe condition
