Jigsaw with Cooperative Groups

Talk about the following questions as a group. Remember, you’re coming to the group representing the person you studied, so be sure to share his/her experiences.

Everyone in your group will talk about the answers to these questions, but each student must fill in his/her own sheet to get credit.

Flip paper to the other side:

Imagine your group is a community council that can go back in time and give advice to the New Orleans and Louisiana governments before Katrina approached. What three pieces of advice would you give them to help make sure the tragedies of Katrina didn’t happen (I know this is impossible, but just imagine!)
