I like the idea of students working in a group on KWL and then making the whole class chart. Thank you for sharing!

I use KWL charts frequently in my classroom. To further engage the students in the process, I use "turn and talk" first to generate ideas.

KWL charts are great for teachers to use when working with students in smaller groups to help me find out what they know about a subject, what their interest is, and what they want to learn.

Seems so basic, but for ELL learner it is essential- any grade level and any subject.
