3. Approach STAD- four or five member heterogeneous teams, worksheets or other study devices, tutoring, quizzing, team discussions. Jigsaw- five or six member “” teams, portion of materials, together learn topic, individual quizzes.

4. Approach Group Instruction- Topic selection, Cooperative planning, Implementation, Analysis and synthesis, presentation of final product, Evaluation. Think-Pair-Share- Thinking, Pairing, Sharing. Numbered Heads Together- Numbering, Questioning, Heads Together, Answering.

5. Choosing Material Have students had some previous contact with content matter? Is the content likely to entrust the students for which the lesson is for? If you use text does it provide sufficient info. on the topic? For Jigsaw, can content be easily broken up in to subtopics? For Jigsaw and STAD, can content be easily be but into objective quizzes that can be scored quickly. For GI, do you know the subject well enough to guide your students to subtopics and relevant resources and are there relevant resources available?
