Abstract	The objective of this lesson is for students to explain the basic geographic concepts of "space," "place," and "nature and society" using examples discussed in Alexander Murphy's "Geography: Why It Matters." The lesson is taught over two 50-minute class periods using the jigsaw technique and two strategies adapted from College Board Close Reading Workshop resources. On Day 1, students are divided into three groups (i.e., jigsaw pieces). Each group conducts a collaborative close reading of one content chapter from "Geography: Why It Matters." On Day 2, students are reorganized into groups comprising one student from each of the three Day 1 groups. Students share their close reading insights with their group. Finally, each group presents their explanations (i.e., assembled jigsaw pieces) on the basic geographic topics of "space," "place," and "nature and society." Once each group member has had a chance to report out to the others about their chapter, the teacher can use debriefing as a formative assessment. (ERIC).
