Hello..Need a bit of creative thinking help.
I am in the middle of teaching about the monarchs of England-specifically Elizabeth I, James I, Charles I. As a review, I want to do an activity for it. I had planned on using foldables, which I have before. However, I was given small blank jigsaw puzzles, they are individual size..about 28 pieces. Big enough to write on. They are made of cardboard, so once used they are done.
I'm trying to think of a good review/study type activity to use these puzzles for. I've had ideas of question/answer or using it to put a graphic organizer on ..all which the students have to put together to understand the information. To sort of explain the size..Id say there are 3-4 going down each side and 6-7 across top/bottom and a couple of rows in the middle. I beleive its 28 pieces. If you have any ideas..please help..this is also a lesson that will be observed by my professor for a Masters degree program. Thanks!
