Jigsaw Poster
In groups you will be given one information sheet that is about one piece of the jigsaw.In your group design a poster containing all the information on the sheet using as many pictures, numbers and symbols as you want BUT only 5 written words!Your information sheet will be taken off you after 10 minutes, so you need to be quick and get as much information onto your poster as possible.Slide7
Market Stall
You are now going to use your poster to set up a ‘market stall’.One of you will be the talker and will stay at your ‘market stall’ to explain your poster to other pupils.The rest of you will be the walkers and will walk around the class, going to the other ‘market stalls’ and looking at others posters and completing notes on the other 5 subjects.You have 15 minutes and 5 ‘market stalls’ to visit – so spend no more than 3 minutes at each market stall.Slide8
Peer Teaching
Now that you have gathered all your information about life in the trenches, you need to teach the ‘talker’ in your pair about what you have learned from each of the ‘market stalls’.Make sure that you use the notes you have made, and help them to fill in their worksheet.DON’T just copy – you need to explain!Slide9
