The KWL thinking routine is a powerful learning strategy that encourages students to actively engage with new topics by reflecting on what they Know, what they Want to learn, and what they have Learned throughout the learning process. Here’s more about each stage of the KWL thinking routine:
Know: In this stage, students brainstorm and discuss what they already know about the topic. This could include prior knowledge, experiences, or assumptions. By activating prior knowledge, students can make connections to new information and build a foundation for learning.
Want to Know: In this stage, students generate questions and express their curiosity about the topic. These questions can range from specific inquiries to broader themes or concepts they hope to explore further. Wanting to know encourages students to take ownership of their learning and directs their focus towards areas of interest.
Learned: In this stage, students reflect on and summarize what they have learned about the topic. This could include key facts, insights, or connections they have made during the learning process. By articulating their understanding, students consolidate their learning and gain a sense of accomplishment.
The KWL thinking routine is a versatile tool that can be adapted to various subjects and grade levels. It promotes active learning, critical thinking, and metacognition, empowering students to become more independent and engaged learners.
Boost critical thinking skills in Early Years and Primary students with this interactive 20-page “I See, I Think, I Wonder” Visible Thinking Routine resource. Available in both colourful and black-and-white printables, these worksheets are perfect for promoting observation, inquiry, and reflection. Use them for individual activities, classroom projections, or interactive wall displays to create a stimulating learning environment. This resource is ideal for teachers and homeschoolers looking to incorporate inquiry-based learning and critical thinking routines in early childhood education.
What “I See, I Think, I Wonder” Means:
I See: This part encourages students to make observations based on what they can see directly. It helps them focus on details and promotes careful observation. For instance, they might describe colours, shapes, or actions in an image or scenario.
I Think: This section prompts students to interpret their observations and make inferences. It allows them to express their thoughts and opinions about what they see, encouraging deeper thinking and reflection on the content.
I Wonder: This final component invites curiosity and questions. Students can share what they are curious about or what they would like to learn more about. It fosters a sense of inquiry and encourages exploration beyond immediate observations.
Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoy exploring these visual thinking routines!
