The best strategy to fit the teacher's goal in this situation would be to implement something called jigsaw learning.

Explanation:

Elliot Aronson and his students invented the jigsaw learning in the 70s, which is a technique consisting of cooperation. Since that time, it has become extremely popular and successful, as this inclusive technique is great to make students interact with each other in the classroom, reading and exchanging opinions to re-organize the information in the text.
