Description

This Civil Rights Heroes Jigsaw Activity is a collaborative teaching strategy that encourages increased student engagement and participation as students learn about four Civil Rights Heroes.

The Jigsaw Process:

In a Jigsaw activity, students form small groups, where each member focuses on mastering a specific part of the topic. These groups then transition into expert groups, with members specializing in the same focus area. Afterward, students return to their original home groups and share their newfound expertise, then work together to gain a collective understanding of the entire topic.

Download Includes:

  • Step-by-Step lesson plans
  • Colored/Number Grouping Cards
  • Home Group Topic Articles for each: Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Ruby Bridges, Jackie Robinson
  • Note Taking Sheets
  • Writing Pages

*** Lexile level of the included Topic Articles is estimated to be between 550-650. Keep in mind that Lexile levels are approximate measures of text complexity, and different analysis methods may yield slightly different results.
