In tonight's class we used a jigsaw activity to analyse some case studies from the textbook. We talked about the case study in small groups, then went back to our project group members and explained to them the different case studies we each had.
Jigsaw activities are helpful in trying to cover a lot of material in a short period of time and are something that I use from time to time in my classroom.
A few other terms that came up in tonight's class were:
Whole Language Curriculum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_language)
Direct Instruction Teaching (http://www.education.com/reference/article/what-direct-instruction/)
A helpful website that we were introduced to was the What Works? Clearninghouse
