Have you ever used this strategy in your class? this strategy
is very helpful for linking the previous knowledge and new material. The strategy is employed to help young learners organize information that they
obtain in the beginning activity, running activity and closing activity in the
classroom. K means “what do you know
about the subject”. W means “what do you want to know about the subject”.
Then, L means “what did you learned”
What are you going to do K-W-L chart. Here is some procedures
that you can apply.
1.
Write K-W-L chart in whiteboard or make it with
cartoon paper. You can design it beautifully and put it as a poster in the classroom.
You can also give handout. It depends on your situation and your students’ needs.
However, I suggest to make a poster because young learners like colorful
theme.
2. Sticky paper 1. Start the class with
showing object or picture related to learning material. give them three colorful
sticky paper in their table. Ask them to write
“what do they know the object or
the picture”. Young learners will try recall their memory about the object.
This activity will help make active their prior knowledge and organize
information.
3. Sticky paper 2. Continued by writing “what do you want to know about the subject”. young learners will write
some questions about the object. This activity will make young learners be more creative
thinker and explore the subject more deeply. Then ask them to stick the paper 1
and 2 in K and W chart
4. Sticky paper 3. The objective of lesson
is that the students comprehend the
teaching material taught. In the last sticky paper, young learners will write
down “what did they learn”. this
activity is applied as conclusion time. This helps teachers know that the young
learners understand or not about lesson or answer all questions from young
learners. Moreover, you can also asks
them to read what they have already written down in their paper.
