Teaching Each Other: Jigsaw Activity

Form groups by section: everyone who did section 1 together; everyone who did section 2 together; everyone who did section 3 together; everyone who did section 4 together.

Now I will form you into “super-groups” made up of one person from each expert group.

In your super-groups, teach each other your section.

By the end you need good notes on all 4 sections!

Children’s Book

Your book will include a short section on each of the key terms.

It will have 4 chapters with one feature section that is done in more detail.

It will include at least 5 images (3 of which are drawn by you).

It will have a conclusion commenting on the U.S. role as a world power (post-WWII to the present).

Draft of the writing is due Monday, October 27th.

Final version is due Thursday October 30th.
