This document summarizes Winnie Tung's workshop on using jigsaw classroom techniques to accelerate language proficiency. It outlines several jigsaw activities she demonstrates, including: having students work in pairs to orally share and listen to answers on topics, doing a 4-picture storytelling activity where small groups each describe one scene and then construct a narrative, and having students reflect on the stories. It also lists additional jigsaw resources covered like Chinese idioms, podcasts, and Edpuzzle video lessons. The document aims to show how jigsaw techniques can help students learn by actively sharing and building upon each other's knowledge.
