In a jigsaw, class members focus on a component of a larger topic as individuals, pairs, or groups, which they then share with the entire class or groups.  This is an effective way to accomplish a lot of learning in just a short time by dividing up the task and providing students the chance to be "experts" in a certain area.  Readings could be split up, different approaches could be researched, different experiments could be conducted, different opinions could be studied, etc.
