Beginner learners(6-7 years old): The information for experts is purely visual (cards, pictures, physical objects). Teaching involves showing and naming their own piece to the group. Do not divide the task or the groups into more than 4 parts.
Advanced learners(8-9 years old): They read and understand short, simple paragraphs. Upon returning to their home group, they must summarize what they have learned in their own words and answer their peers’ questions. The task and groups can be divided into groups of up to 6 students.
Expert learners (9–10 years old): Longer texts with multiple paragraphs. The task for the expert groups is not only to understand the text but also to prepare a mini-presentation or a visual explanation (e.g., a mind map) to teach their own group. The task and groups can be divided into groups of up to 8 students.
