Original PromptI'd like to do a jigsaw activity with these 4 passages and the jigsaw accountability sheet. I want the passages and worksheet to be formatted in a student friendly design. PAssages can be 1-2 pages. The jigsaw worksheet should be a single page and have space and lines for students to write answers to the questions. You may add one or two questions you feel would enhance this discussion, but it is not neccessary. Here is the info PASSAGE 1: Why Was the Teton Dam Built? (Inception)
The Teton Dam
This learning resource provides a comprehensive overview of the Teton Dam, detailing its construction, purpose, and the catastrophic failure that occurred on June 5, 1976. Students will explore the reasons for the dam's construction, which included flood control and irrigation support for local agriculture. The resource includes a timeline of key events during the dam's life, beginning with its construction in 1972, through to its completion in 1975, and culminating in the disastrous failure due to water seepage. The geology behind the dam's failure is examined, emphasizing the significance of the volcanic rock foundation. The narrative details the critical moments leading up to the dam's collapse and highlights the community's response and resilience in the aftermath of the disaster, showcasing acts of kindness, solidarity, and recovery efforts. Students are encouraged to engage with the material through guided note-taking, discussions, and reflective exercises that emphasize collaboration and understanding of the event's implications.
