Included: Text, 2 Tarsia Puzzles of different sizes, answers to the Tarsia Suitable for both high and low achievers. Approximately a 40 minute activity. Lesson Ideas: Give students the text document and allow them time to read and highlight any words they do not understand. Put the students in groups of 2 or 3 and issue each group with 2 post-it notes. Students then cut and assemble the tarsia puzzle, matching the question and answer. If students are really struggling, they are allowed to write a single question on each of the post-it notes and then wait for the teacher to circulate and answer the questions. After the time is up, issue each group with the answers and have them complete their puzzles. This is a good starter activity for the following lesson, to re-inforce the ideas.
