Talking Points     Level 2: Unit 13

Let's go to San Francisco!

Time: 20–25 minutes
Activity type: Jigsaw reading
Preparation: Click here to download the Talking point activity.
Make one copy of the top part of Talking point 13 for every three
students. Cut into sections. Make one copy of the question worksheet
for every student.

1. Have students form groups of three. Give each student one reading section: History, Festivals, or Sightseeing.
   
2. Explain the activity. Students will have three minutes to silently read their own section and become an “expert” on that topic. Remind students to raise their hands if they have questions about vocabulary or if they don’t understand something they have read.
   
3. Hand out a question worksheet to each student. Tell groups to work together and share information to complete the worksheet.
   
4. When students finish, go over the answers with the whole class.
