This group discussion activity uses the jigsaw method of cooperative learning developed by Elliot Aronson to promote effective peer learning and thinking skills. The activity is suited to learners in the 14-16 and 16+ age groups who are studying case studies of urban environments and issues e.g. for GCSE or National 5/ Higher in Scotland. The discussion is based on evaluating approaches to redeveloping the slums in Dharavi in Mumbai, India and uses a range of viewpoints. A PowerPoint presentation is provided with viewpoint cards for up to 6 learners in a group. There is also a group evaluation sheet to conclude the activity. The steps for using the jigsaw method in group discussion are shown on a poster/handout.

Brilliant resources. Thanks ever so much for sharing this for free. I can't wait to use them with my year ten group. Thank You
Oh my word- the detail is amazing and the planning was well thought out. I have a group of extension kids and some plodders in another class, but my lower performing kids totally engaged with this work- my brighter ones - perhaps not so bright after all. Thank you so much- to have my remote classes working with this was a joy. Did fiddle a bit, but i should have paid you:)
This is a fantastic resource for GCSE Geography. It was great for in-depth thinking about improving the quality of life in the Dharavi slum in Mumbai and prompted good discussion using the role cards. When I use it again I will differentiate it a bit for my less able students. Thank you for sharing this great resource :-)
