JIgsaw Teaching

QOD - What are the four important rivers of the Fertile Crescent?  What ways did people use the rivers?

WOD - Rosetta Stone - The Rosetta Stone was written in all three scripts so that the priests, government officials and rulers of Egypt could read what it said. (hieroglyphic, demotic and Greek)

The Rosetta Stone was carved in 196 B.C..
The Rosetta Stone was found in 1799.
The Rosetta Stone was found by French soldiers who were rebuilding a fort in Egypt.
The Rosetta Stone was found in a small village in the Delta called Rosetta (Rashid).

Students taught each other the different parts of the study guide.  Students retain 90% of what they teach.  Friday, they collected the information in class.
