Abstract:
KWL charts have been a mainstay of most classrooms for many years. Students are often asked what they know, what they want to know and then later on what they have learned. Several years ago an alternative was created called KWHLAQ (see Silvia Tolisano- Langwitches Blog). Using the chart with your students can provide teachers with the opportunity to pre-assess and learn more about their students' thinking during the process of learning, giving ample opportunities to differentiate for individual students, use data from the chart to inform further teaching or revise previously created lesson or unit plans.
