Jigsaw activity

What is it? Jigsaw activity = A method of group

learning

1. Each individual studies a specific topic

2. Every one shares what /she has learned

3. All discuss various topics/questions

individually you learn a part

collectively you get the whole picture.

Step 1: pick a part

to study Use the sign-up sheet posted in the wiki section of the

site.

The choices include

1. definition of conflict (pp. 162-166)

2. Stages of conflict (pp. 166-172)

3. Principles of negotiations and steps (pp. 173-177)

4. Negotiation strategies and tactics (177-184)

Step 2: study Read the assigned part & pay attention to the concepts

and theories in chapter 6

Think how examples in the text explain the concepts

and theories

Reflect how these concepts and theories relate to what

we have studied before.

Step 3: prepare learning

materials for the group Summarize the reading in 5-6 powerpoint slides.

Include the following information:

most important concepts and theories,

Technical details For creating visuals

3. Attach to your message in the forum.

(optional, if you want to try it) For sharing the slides

1. Use SlideShare to post the presentation

2. Slide share does not transfer animations, so I do not recommend using this feature in your slides.

3. Embed the presentation posted on SlideShare into a post in the Forum. This quick reference describes which code to use.

4. Follow the instructions for embedding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyssyhF5n88 or Handout

Step 4: Discussions

After you post,

- Study the material suggested by your colleagues in the forum.

- Respond to the questions posted by your colleagues, focusing on

applying the reading from this or previous weeks’ chapters and other

materials that we have studied

- Care for the thread that you have started, by responding to the

comments and helping others
