KWL Strategy
Currently our year 12 classes are working on Trigonometry. This was particularly useful, as this topic has a lot of formulae to work with, Algebraic steps and contextual based questions.. I modified all the exercise by adding KWL in order to classify the correct formulae, learners found it useful.
Here is the sample lesson:
TOPIC: Trigonometry
What I Know What I want to Learn What I have Learned
K-W-L is a group activity developed by Donna Ogle (1986) that helps students think actively while reading.
K - Stands for helping students recall what they KNOW about the subject.
W - Stands for helping students determine what they WANT to learn.
L - Stands for helping students identify what they LEARN as they read.
Know- Right angled triangle SOH, CAH , TOA
Non right angled triangle- Cosine rule- SSS, SAS
Non right angled triangle- AAS
Want- Diagonal length
Learn- SAS therefore Cosine rule
Answer- Answer the questions and write in words.
Here is a sample lesson shared with my learners via google calendar.
