I wanted to share an activity I created for my students in Lucidspark that incorporates reading, annotation, and discussion using a Jigsaw style format using Breakout Boards.
First I created a table in the main board where students fill out information about Utah’s three geographical regions. Then for each region, I built a Breakout Board that included the necessary information for each region.
Students were each assigned one region of Utah to read about, then highlight/annotate the parts of the table they needed to fill in. The image below shows a completed annotation.
After reading and annotating, students were placed into groups of three with each student having been assigned a different region to read about. They then discussed the regions with each other, helping the other members of their group fill out the table on the main board.
I also use Lucidspark for digital notebooks, and after filling out the entire table, students could easily copy it, and paste it into their notebook for future reference.
