Syllabus Jigsaw (Group Assignment): 

After having thoroughly  read the Syllabus, focus on the pages of the syllabus for which you and your team are responsible. As a team, determine what you feel are the five most important aspects of the information contained in the section for which you are responsible. 

You are not selecting five concepts per page but are looking at the entire section that you have been assigned and then selecting the five most important points throughout. 

For example, if there are four individuals on your team, and each person finds five different points which they deem to be the most important, the team must now review all of the points submitted and then decide on the Top 5 Points from the pool of 20 Important Points. The group can only present Five Points from the entire section (set of designated pages). 

To be successful, you will need to converse with your team mates about your choices and then later on you will have to vote on the Top Five.

Everyone is busy and you might not be able to meet with one another. A good way to collaborate without physically meeting is by using the Share function in Google Docs. You can share a document so that each person places their Top Five and then from there, you can use tally marks to vote for the Top Five. The five choices with the most tally marks would be your team's choice.

From there, you would create a Google Presentation that is also shared so that each team member could input their part. All of the group members can work on each slide, or each group member could work on one slide. 

In terms of design, the key is for the presentation to be seamless and for the slide designs to complement one another.
