Speak Think Understand - KWL Chart

This KWL chart can be used for any age of student that can read and write. I have used it as young as first grade, but also with college students. It is designed to get students thinking about how the things we know, want to know, and have learned are connected. Coming out of the mouth, you will find a space for students to write what they already know, or can tell you about. In a thought bubble above the head, is a space for what a student might want to know, or be thinking about, but not sure yet. Finally after the lesson, the student can write the information directly into the brain, simulating the act of filing the information away in their own brain.
