Abstract

In this activity, students practice isolating relevant information, and organizing this information into sound arguments that are clearly presented. It is designed to help students who uncritically try to incorporate too much course material into their essays. It is formatted as a hands-on and interactive "jigsaw activity" to help ensure all students are actively engaged.
