    She tasked them to comprehend


    the assigned reading and answer
    the guide questions. After 10
    minutes, she instructed each
    students with the same reading to
    sit together and compare their
    answers.
    They also need to highlight the
    important points and plan how to
    share it with their classmates. After
    another 10 minutes, students went
    back to their original group. They
    were each given time to discuss
    their parts and answers questions
    from their groupmates.
    While the group converses,
    Teacher sharon roams around
    the room and check if the
    students are on the right track.
    After the discussion, an
    individual quiz was given to
    assess student learning.
    10 STEPS IN
    IMPLEMENTING
    THIS STRATEGY
    1.Divide students into five or six person
    home groups. Members should be diverse
    in terms of gender, ability, and ethnicy

    2. Appoint a leader for each home group.

    3. Divide the day's lesson into five to six


    segments.

    4. Assign each students in the home group


    to learn one segment.

    5. Give students enough time to


    comprehend and master their assigned
    segment.

    6. From temporary expert groups by


    instructing students with the same segments
    to sit together. Give them enough time to
    discuss the main points, clarify questions , and
    rehearse the presentation they will make to
    their home group.
    7. After the given time, bring
    students back to their home
    groups.

    8. Ask each member to present his or her


    segment to the group. The leader should
    encourage the flow of discussion and the asking
    of questions.

    9. The teacher should roam


    around the classroom and observe
    the process. Make appropriate
    interventions for groups
    experiencing difficulties.

    10. At the end of the session, give a quiz to


    assess student learnimg.
    The jigsaw strategy is preferred by many educators
    because it has many benefits in the classroom. A study
    conducted by Hanze and Berger (2007) showed that,
    after implementing jigsaw, students demonstrated

    ADVANTAGES
    increased feelings of autonomy and intrinsic motivation.
    It promotes peronal accountability of learning since
    students are required to master their segments
    independently and eventually share it with their
    groupmates. It also encourages group collaboration
    with students knowing that their information and
    understanding will not be complete without working
    and communicating with their peers. Moreover, jigsaw
    instills a sense of ownership in learning especially with
    the teacher acting as a mere facilitator instead of a
    direct transmitter of knowledge.
    1. Emphasize that each member has a
    valuable contribution to the group.

    2. Ensure that the given materials are of


    equal lenght and difficulty.

    TIPS
    3. In some cases, teachers skip the formation
    of exoert groups, believing thst individually
    mastering the segment is enough
