Jagged Smackdowns

Everyone is different. In Room 3 we make jagged profiles to show what we're good at and what we need to work on next. This week we researched our goals (e.g. leadership) using YouTube videos but interestingly students got more useful advice from each other. They then shared their tips in a smackdown where they all presented for a minute. A genuine collaborative process.

Jigsaw Learning

Hi all, I did some reading about jigsaw learning on this website. Next week I'm planning on using this idea in reading. Each student only reads one page of the text so they really have to collaborate to gain an understanding of the whole text. I also like it because students from different groups who are reading the same page get to support each other. This means that students can choose their groups but also get to work with a range of different people. I'll let you know how we get on...
