Used to help students generate their own guiding/learning questions about a topic

Good to use at the start of a new unit or introducing a new idea

Multiple texts are provided on poster paper

Small groups of students “read” the text and brainstorm to decide on a comment to write (in given marker color)

Groups move to each poster after a given amount of time: read text, written comments and respond to either or add new information

Can be used to assess student background knowledge

Jigsawhttp://www.jigsaw.org/overview.htm

Each student acts as a piece of puzzle: they become an “expert” on a specific topic

Students bring their information back to their group to report out

Each student’s work and their input is essential for the final product

Good for student centered learning (project-based learning, exploring a topic)-reduces direct teacher instruction

Give students 2 texts to choose from to read and annotate

Students write a response to a guiding question and also write a question they have regarding the text

They initial and pass in papers to be exchanged with peers

Repeat steps (2-3 times), having students reread their peers’ annotated text and responses

Good practice for close reading, rereading and creating responses & questions
