Updated! Jigsaw Groups, Ted Talk Discussions, Cultural Perspectives: Refugees

UPDATE! Since posting this resource, I have received such positive feedback from educators. However, the plight of those who have found themselves displaced is ever changing. Therefore, I have felt an urgency to UPDATE this resource by adding a Socratic Seminar component. This will allow students to research much more current events and topics. I have not changed the original PowerPoint that walks you through the Jigsaw activity, so that can still be used as is! I have ADDED an editable document AND answer key that can take about 2-4 class periods (depending on your class period length!) I wrote this with my seniors in mind, but it can be used at any high school level. The Socratic Seminar can be used in conjunction with, or separate from, the original Jigsaw activity.

Original product description: In this ready-to-use product, students will work with home groups to explore issues related to the refugee crisis. After watching a Ted Talk and answering discussion questions, they will meet with a new group - their jigsaw group - to share their findings and learn from the other groups as well. They will record all their notes in the provided KWL chart. Besides assigning home groups and jigsaw groups, this product is ready to use. Students will need 1-1 devices.
