Last night at the literacy class I found out that what I described in my previous post was called "Expert Groups". Students are divided into a group (eg colour-Pink, Green, Blue) then each member is also given a number. A larger reading is broken into parts and is assigned to each group. When your colour group has become expert in that one part then the class is broken into its number groups and they teach each other their expert topics.
This exercise utlises what we learnt about how people learn (see above). Hopefully instead of remembering 10% of what they read they will remember 70-95% of what they talk about with others and teach each other.
