On reading the instructions they then work as a group to carry them out.

Reading the instructions. QUICKTIME MOVIE jigsaw 2.mov

The first instruction is to draw around their hands and put their names in them thereby recording the group membership, then they have to list five things they remembered from yesterday, and draw a picture of how the school council fits into the structure of the school.

  Basically fun
This is basically a fun way of splitting the students into random groups. Creating the groups through piecing together the instructions that they are meant to follow. They are seen to need each other to start the task.
