2. Assign 1 student to be the group leader.
3. Divide the day's lesson into 4-6 pieces of the lesson depending on how many students are in each group.
4. Assign each student to learn 1 piece of the lesson.
5. Give students time to go over their segment and become familiar with it.
6. Form temporary experts groups - have students with the same segment group together to learn the material.
7. Bring students back into original group.
8. Ask each student to present his or her material to their group.
9. As the educator, float from group to group to observe the process.
