Step 1. | Place Transparency 4 of the Charles Darwin quote on the overhead. Have the students guess which plant is being described. As they guess, write down the names of the plants they suggest in the margins of the transparency. |
Step 2. | Use handouts 1-4 as a Jig-Saw reading activity (see previous activity for set-up instructions): Students first become experts on one text, then they should form into jig-saw groups and teach their information to their classmates in turn. |
Step 3. | Once the jig-saw is finished, arrange class into three teams. Place Transparency 1, the Jeopardy-like game on the overhead projector. Ask one player on one team to call out an amount and reveal the answer. If the student asks the correct question, call on another person from that team. Continue until there is an error and move to the team that has a student call out “Listo/a” first. Continue with that team until there is an error. Team members cannot take a second turn until all the team members have had a chance. Change to Transparency 2 for a second game if there is time and continue the activity. |
Materials
Make a transparency of the cover sheet, Transparency 3, cut apart on the dotted lines and place over the game sheet transparencies. The students call off the number of points they want and the teacher removes that section to reveal the answer.
Suggestion
Color code the reading to facilitate classroom management of this activity: each segment of the reading is copied on a different colored paper so that when the jig-saw groups are formed each student in the group should have a different colored reading.

Transparency 4
“Es increíble que la misma planta se encuentre en las montañas estériles del centro de Chile, donde una gota de lluvia no se cae por más de seis meses, y dentro de los bosques mojados de las
islas del sur.”
--Charles Darwin, naturalista inglés
Expedición a Patagonia, HMS Beagle
