KWL
Chart: How Do You Know?
If your
students have created KWL charts, have them review the What We
Know column. For each item, ask, the following types of questions:
-
How
do we know this? (They might respond that they heard it from someone
else, read it in a book or on the Internet, saw it on TV, observed
it, or "just knew it!")
-
Which
sources give you the most confidence that the information
is accurate?
-
How
can you verify what you think you know?
-
Which
do you think is more accurate (reliable): information
you get from _____ (a specific outside source) or information
you get when you observe something firsthand, review authentic
migration data, or conduct an experiment?
