Note that there is overlap like to speak you must process words that were heard or seen.
In learning, topics that are processed by multiple parts of the brain will be retained longer than others.

Expert Groups
Number off at your home group table from 1–5, repeating if there are more than five people at your table. The assigned number represents your expert group. Join others with your number at the assigned tables for expert groups. # Title of Section Assigned: 1 History 2 The What and the How 3 The Student Perspective 4 The Teacher Perspective 5 Differentiating for Student Populations 22

25. Expert Groups At your expert group table:
Silently read assigned portion of the text.
Highlight important statements within the passage.
As an expert group, discuss highlighted portions, and decide on the top three highlighted statements that best represent the main ideas of the section.
At your home group: Share the top three statements with the group, having them highlight as you summarize why they are most important. 23
