Instructional Ideas

  • Take some time to work with your class on creating effective questions
  • Refer back to the chart regularly as you read

Classroom Considerations

  • A lot of space on the graphic organizer is taken up by clip art and borders; you may wish to recreate the chart to give learners more space to write
  • The topic of the KWHL is a bit abstract, so you may need to provide the first few ideas to get students started

Pros

  • Comes with a sample, filled-out KWHL chart to give you an idea of how to get started and what to look for
  • A blank KWHL chart is provided to hand out to pupils

Cons

  • None
