Teacher Commentary
The Jigsaw requires careful groupings and some differentiation. As you assign the readings, you will need to think of the Expert Groups and the Jigsaw Group. Some readings are more accessible than others, but you will want to make sure that both the Expert Groups and the Jigsaw Groups are heterogeneous. In other words, be careful not to assign all the least experienced readers to the same text. The text set includes Texts E, F, G, H and I. You will want 3- 4 readers in the Expert groups, and the Jigsaw groups should include one reader of each text set, 5 students total.
