Students of any level can become overwhelmed when they are presented with large amounts of text. Jigsaw reading is an organization technique that breaks up longer texts   into smaller chunks of text (one-two paragraphs) that students work together in groups to become experts on. Each student then moves into a new group, in which every member has become has become an expert on a different part of the text. The students  then take turns teaching their new group about their portion of the text. This technique emphasizes cooperative learning by giving students the opportunity to help each other build comprehension.
