Journal Entries Unit V Journal
Jigsaw puzzles use strategies that develop problem-solving skills and boost logical reasoning. People complete jigsaw puzzles individually and in groups. In groups, cooperative learning is used to help each other solve the puzzle and build comprehension. Individually, it helps build critical thinking. Online, it is difficult to solve the puzzle and build comprehension or even critical thinking; however, take one piece of the jigsaw puzzle, and discuss the one piece as to what it is; when it activates; where it is used; as well as how and why it is used. Have you ever seen a sprinkler head activated? Where? Did it control or extinguish the fire?

Have you ever lived in an apartment, worked in a building, or attended a school that had a standpipe hose system? Do you believe occupants should fight fire? Do you believe they should escape? Why, or why not?
