What’s A KWL Chart?
A KWL Chart is a graphic organizer that helps students plan and reflect upon their learning.

W: What do I want or need to know? (Before learning)
L: How might I learn what I want or need to learn? (Before learning)
L: What did I learn? (After learning)
What’s The Difference Between A KWL Chart And A KWHL Chart?
A KWHL chart is a variation of a KWL chart that adds ‘How’ to the learning process. In this way, students have to brainstorm, speculate, or otherwise identify or plan how they’re going to learn what they identified in the preceding ‘What?’ step.
