**Jigsaw Activity for Chapter 3, Section 2**
This is a Jigsaw activity that uses electronic resources to use and expand the base of knowledge that is found in your textbook, "The American Nation." Each member of the expert group will be responsible for reading a specific section as a prereading activity to identify 2-3 key points from the reading to research. This should not take more than 5 - 10 minutes. Using the websites listed below; research your key terms in order to learn something that is different from your text or you think is interesting. Cut and paste the new material that you have found onto your part of the expert group wiki. Then you will need to paraphrase the information into your own words using proper sentence structure, grammar, and spelling. Paraphrasing is the restatement of a text or passage in another form or other words, often to clarify meaning that is then used for teaching or as a studying device. (Information retrieved on November 1, 2009 from http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/paraphrase+) You will also need to cite where you found your information, as the definition for paraphrase was done in the previous sentence. You will also find another example of how a subject should be researched, paraphrased, and cited on your expert group page.
