KWL Grid
If you are starting a new topic, a useful activity to get students to engage with is a KWL Grid.
The ‘K’ stands for ‘what I already Know’.
The ‘W’ stands for ‘what I Want to learn’.
The ‘L’ stands for ‘what I have Learned’.
As well as being a very useful formative tool, KWL Grids can be a great way to help bring student voice into the curriculum.
Focused reflection
How well do you currently use this technique?
Is it a technique you will focus on developing?
If so, what are the key features you will focus on (things to do, and not do)?
