This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
During their initial planning session, Michelle's group has divided up who will work on each of the Civil War leaders. Trent will study Robert E. Lee; Skye will study Ulysses Grant; Lionel will focus on
Abraham Lincoln; and Lisa will complete the puzzle by studying Jefferson Davis. Then they will come back and share what they learned with each other. Without knowing anything else, which cooperative learning method do you think this sounds most like?
A. STAD
B. Jigsaw
C. Learning Together
D. Group Investigation
E. Cooperative Scripting
Answer:
The cooperative learning method they are using is B. jigsaw.
Explanation:
In a jigsaw method of learning, students are dependent on each other for their learning to succeed. In the same group, different students are supposed to research and learn about one subtopic of the general topic. Later, students exchange knowledge, as if they are putting together the pieces (subtopics) of a puzzle (general topic). It can also be performed by entire groups in one classroom - that is, each group learns about a different aspect of the topic, and then the groups share the information they acquired.
We can safely say Michelle's groups is employing the jigsaw method, since each one of them will learn about a different Civil War leader to, later, share their knowledge with their group mates.
