Kagan Cooperative Learning Structures for Success
Brief Summary:
This Cooperative Learning structure is designed to ensure 100% engagement by
all students.
Supplies needed:
• Groups of 3-4 students
• List of 8-10 questions, numbered. (These can be from your textbook or
created by you.)
• Numbered index cards (to correspond to the list of questions).
• Fan-N-Pick board for each group (with a group of 3 students, combine
“pick and read” and "tutor/praise”).
• Fan n' Pick document
Steps:
1. Teammates fan, pick, respond to questions, and tutor each other when
necessary.
2. Students should rotate the board after each turn so that students have a new
role with each question.
Reminder(s):
• This can also be used as an icebreaker activity if you use getting-to-knowyou-type
questions.
This can be a great way to check for understanding after a lesson in which a
large amount of information has been delivered to the students.
