Inspire and Overcome: Exploring Historical Careers in the Community

In this engaging jigsaw activity, 8th-grade students will share their Bio-Cubes summarizing historical figures who faced significant obstacles on their paths to achieving career goals. By working collaboratively in small and large groups, students will compare insights and celebrate the resilience of those who dared to dream. Discussions will focus on common traits among these figures, the mindsets that propelled them forward, and the strategies they used to overcome challenges. Encouraging self-reflection, students will recognize their own potential to overcome obstacles as they dare to dream.

  1. Dare to Dream Jigsaw 8th Grade: Careers in the Community Microsoft, 2011

  2. Review & Objective • Last class you read a story about a person in history (distant or near history) that overcame obstacles to reach his/her career goals. • You made a Bio-Cube to summarize that person’s life. • Today, you will share your Bio-Cubes with others and learn about the stories of many people who have met their career goals despite challenges.

  3. Jigsaw – Step 1 • Form a small group with the other people in the class who created a Bio-Cube for the same person as you. • Share your cubes and compare your responses on each section. Make sure that the information you have gathered matches the information that others have gathered. • Make revisions/modifications as necessary

  4. Jigsaw – Step 2 • Number off within your group. • Form a larger group with all like-numbered classmates. • Each group should be made up of students who are presenting on different people from history. • Take turns within the group presenting your Bio-Cubes.

  5. Jigsaw – Step 3 • Once everyone has presented, discuss the following: • What does each of these people have in common? • What kind of mindset did each of these individuals have? What difference did that make for each person? • How were they able to overcome obstacles?

  6. Dare to Dream! • Each of us have obstacles to overcome. • Some are inside ourselves and some are outside ourselves. • The attitude with which we meet these obstacles can mean the difference between ultimate failure or success. • You can never go higher than you dream, so accept the challenge and Dare to Dream!
