Example: Use This Strategy In in the Classroom

  • Starting a new book by connecting it with prior knowledge helps learners activate their Background Knowledge. Teachers can provide visuals for students to organize their knowledge to see how their current learning fits in and to predict and notice patterns in the knowledge learned.

    • Design It into Your Product

  • Developers can provide tools that allow students to make their own graphic organizers. By creating a visual tool, learners consider patterns and connections even more deeply as they apply their Background Knowledge and practice their Verbal Reasoning.

    • Use It in the Classroom

    Watch as a teacher explain how she uses KWL to help her students learn about the state they live in.
