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.

This organizer is ideal for helping your students organizing their initial thinking and understanding of topics. It provides students with graphic prompts and an organized workspace. While students work to conduct research, brainstorm ideas for writing or share their ideas about new learnings this resource will help them to begin on the right path and structure their work.
