This document provides instructions for an activity called a carousel. It outlines a 3 step process where students are initially split into expert groups to research a topic, then regrouped to share their findings, and finally come back together as a class to discuss insights and questions. Students become experts in their initial groups before reforming as teachers to their new groups to explain what they learned.
