Native American Folklore Jigsaw Activity

About:

This printable collaborative reading activity for 3rd graders uses the Jigsaw method to teach comprehension of an Inuit folk tale titled "Why Crow's Feathers are Black." Students work in groups, with each member responsible for answering one comprehension question about the animals in the story, the painting materials, and the origin of the crow's black feathers. Groups then teach each other what they learned. Suitable for small-group instruction, reading practice, or folklore units.
