What is it?
The Know-Want to Know-Learned strategy is also known as the KWL reading strategy. This strategy is used before, during and after reading and will help to organize information about prior knowledge, as well as new information. This strategy will help with any research project.
How does it work?
1. Students write down anything that they already know about a topic. So right now, work with your group to come up with ideas that you already know about Pythagoras.
2. Then as a group brainstorm any ideas, or questions that you are either curious about or would like to learn more about. Make sure all of your questions deal with the mathematician Pythagoras. Questions that you should try to answer are "What do I know?, "What do I think I know?" and "What is it that I would like to know?".
3. As a group read each of the passages, ONE AT A TIME.
4. Once you have finished the passage, write down all of the information that you have learned. This should be a summary of the story, and should also answer some of your questions.
