Divide students into groups of 4 to 6 people called home groups.

Divide the content into 4 to 6 chunks based on the number of students per group.

Assign each student within home group a different chunk of content and provide students time to go though their chunks.

Form "expert groups" by having one student from each home group join other students assigned to the same chunk of content. Let students discuss the content with their expert peers.

Bring the students back into their home groups and present or discuss their chunk of content.

Assess students' understanding.
