Discussion and Supporting Materials

Thought starters

  1. How do the first two parts of the chart help prepare students for learning?
  2. What does Ms. Eilers mean when she says "the one who does the work, does the learning"?
  3. How might this affect your practice?
  4. Why is it important to review learning?

I feel that the KWL chart is great for helping critical thinking especially in those who may struggle.

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.
