KWL table

This table helps you straighten out in your mind what you KNOW about a topic, what you WANT TO KNOW about it, and after you're done, what you LEARNED about it.  

Here is an example:

Now you can fill in the first two columns.   Start with What you KNOW. Put one thing you know about your subject in the first cell (where you see ).   

For example: I know that bears have cubs.   So I put that in the first cell. I also know that Polar Bears live where it's cold.   I would put that in the second cell.

What I WANT to know is, how old does a cub have to be to turn into a grown bear?   I would put that in the second column.

Finally, when I'm all done, I can fill out the third column and see how much I have learned.
