Jigsawing in Social Studies

One of our favorite CRISS strategies is "jigsawing." Jigsawing is taking one piece of textual information, and splitting it up into groups. Each group gets assigned a part of the text to learn and become experts on. They are then responsible for making a visual aid to go along with their presentation to "teach" the class their topic. We did this for our last lesson in Social Studies about the Haudenosaunee or Iroquois Indians.
