Today teacher does - Jigsaw ( A experimental activity )
First divide my class into 3 / 4 groups with 7 students in each. A group is given a unique article to read.
Group No 1. [ France Abolishes Monarchy and Becomes a Republic]
Group No 2 . The Reign of Terror
Group No 3.A Directory Rules France
Group No 4 .Did Women have a Revolution?
Group No 5 - The life of a revolutionary woman – Olympe de Gouges
After reading the article, Group 1 will discuss and pinpoint the most important information to share. They might have the names of the most important French revolutionaries, ideas , they might have information about Robespierre, Jacobin, Napoleon Bonaparte and how was the condition of France after 1789. They would definitely say something about the role of women in french revolution Groups 2 - 5 will do the same with their articles.
While this is happening, the teacher is circling to the different groups and helping students decide what information is best to share. Each member of these groups will write down the important information their classmates have decided to share with the other groups.
Next, these groups will break apart.
They will rejoin 4/5 groups with 7 members. 1 member from Group 1, one member from Group 2, one member from Group 3, etc.
New Group 1 - There will only be one member who knows about each topic.
After if they have any doubts teacher will clarify it.
Effectiveness
It was planned for grade 9. But it worked very well in grade X-M . But it took days to complete With in 40 minutes , we got only 30 minutes. After their chit chat and talking, we get less time. First day there was confusion in the second time group formation. There were 21 students. We divided them in to 4 groups. 5 members were there in each group. Only in 5th group there was 6 members.
I had showed the stpes and each groups topic.
After their discussion they shuffled and sat in different groups.
Even though there was little confusion related to shuffling. So, I
gave group number to all pupil.
Next day
They formed group speedy. It was a nice discussion. Student Nihal and Mathew shared to that, that was a good method. I spent my time to participate in all discussion, I have added some additional information also related to their topic.

Who is he ?
I Akbarali , a teacher, Wikidata volunteer and journalist from India. At present I live in the United Arab Emirates . I love teaching, Wikipedia editing, Wikidata volunteering, humour, music, reading, beaches and hills in that order. While in India, I spent my precious days in teaching learning process . And run the different parts of Malappuram districts to collect news stories for newspaper and a local tv channel. During my spare time, I enjoy writing on Wikipedia , Newspaper , Blogs and some magazines.
I develop creative approaches to deliver quality education to my students. I find ways to inspire them to learn, equip them with knowledge, and develop their life skills such as critical thinking, information technology and group work.
My particular interest is in applying technology to teaching learning process that high tech helps stimulate students’ creativity and enthusiasm for learning. I also use technology to bridge the gap between the classroom and real life. Learning is extended to the outside world, and my students are exposed to different cultures as they use applications and websites such as Wikidata, Wikipedia, Class Dojo and Google Apps to connect to the world level of education.
In addition to teaching, I am the ambassador of ClassDojo application in UAE. Being an classdojo ambassador I have given training to 432 teachers from different countries.
As HOD of Social Science Department, I have conducted several training programmes to teachers and lead many staff members meeting in my school.
In my weekends and evenings I had taught many students who were economically poor in a remote village of Kerala, India, and they can’t go to school because they were studying in moral education in religious institutions.
I also run a YouTube channel, two blogs to share my online learning contents tutorials and ideas. And I have participated as delegate in Qudwa International teachers forum in 2017 which was held at Abu Dhabi. In October 2019 I received a scholarship to participate in Wikidatacon19 at Berlin, Germany and participated in a panel session and talked about Wikidata in School Education.
