KWL Chart Reason for the Seasons

KWL charts are very useful to record:

1. Prior knowledge ("K"),
2. Wonders and questions ("W"), and
3. Ultimately newly acquired knowledge or what students have learned ("L").

The KWL chart is a superb tool for focused reading and information-gathering.

KWL Charts can help students reflect on their prior knowledge and inform teachers of what their students know already at the start of a lesson. They can also engage curiosity on a topic by asking students to brainstorm what they want to learn. Finally it helps students organize their new information by giving them a place to record and reflect upon their learning.

Teachers can also include an optional "H" column to include a space for students to write down how they will learn, thus becoming a KWHL chart.

Students can use this KWL chart in their study of the earth and the reason for the seasons!
