This KWL graphic organizer (What I know, what I want to know and what I learned) will help your students create an overview of their inquiry and learning about a topic. The graphic prompts will help students identify and organize information appropriate for each section of the chart.

This main idea graphic organizer allows students to branch their thinking out from a main idea/topic and develop it in greater detail and depth. The graphics provide students with visual prompts related to how they can layer their topic and more vividly explain it. I would recommend modelling how to use the organizer first with the whole class or in smaller guided groups before having students use it independently.
