TC Lesson Plan for Louisiana
Animals Newsletter:
(word)
 Each
learning team will send one
member to become an expert at
each of the research centers.
That expert will work with
others in that group to learn
how to navigate and manipulate
that specific resource. They
will follow the cooperative
learning strategy of “Jigsaw
Learning” and “Each One Teach
One” and go back to their
learning team as an expert on
that specific piece of
technology.
Learning
Teams will then rotate
throughout the computer lab
centers getting information on
their assigned Louisiana Animal.
Each learning team member choose
a different fact sheet to
collect information.
