LESSON PLAN
1) The teacher assigns students to a heterogeneous group of 5 or 6 students.
2) Each group member is assigned a letter from A to E (stronger students get the more difficult topics) and a number (1 to 5/6).
3) Students individually complete their worksheets and rank the findings of their research with 1 being the least influential and 5 being the most influential.
4) Everyone with the same lettered worksheet gets together to share answers and to compare rankings. Students generate a master list of questions and answers, assigning them a point value and submit them to the teacher, who will later compile them into a jeopardy game for review.
- Note: The questions can have more than one correct answer.
- Eg. Sample questions:
- What are ways to reduce the use of fossil fuels?
- How do volcanoes affect the earth’s temperatures?
5) Students with the same number then get together.
Note: A3 gets together with B3, C3, D3, and E3. They share answers and fill in each other’s charts at the back of the sheet.
