  2. Teacher will need to have chart paper and markers
  3. How to Use: Teacher draws three columns on overhead, board, or chart paper with the three headings K – What I Know, W – What I Want (Need) to Know, and L – What I Learned. The teacher then notes the students’ responses in the appropriate columns on the chart.
