Extract
The class is divided into four groups of five students, and each student in the group is assigned a number from one through five. All the "ones" are given a topic of research, the "twos" another topic, and so on. Students work with peers who are assigned the same topic to take notes. After a period of researching with their peers, the original groups come together and students take turns teaching other members of their group about their assigned topic.
The collaboration activity is known as
Answer Choices
- A: think-pair-share
- B: literature circles
- C: fishbowl discussion
- D: jigsaw strategy
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The jigsaw strategy involves students researching specific topics in expert groups, then teaching their home groups, as described. Think-pair-share uses paired discussion, not topic specialization. Literature circles are student-led book discussions. Fishbowl involves observers, unlike this full-participation activity.
