I can:
2. Formulate questions or wonderings I may still have about Making Thinking Visible Strategies.
1. Student discussion
KWL chart: a graphic organizer designed to help learning. The letters KWL are an acronym, for what
students, in the course of a lesson, already know, want to know, and ultimately learn.
Pre-Assessment Ask students what a connection, extention, and challenge might look like/sound like
before telling them. Take suggestions during model. As I do walk through on the
document cam using KWL to fill in CEC, ask students for input.
Anticipatory Set Emphasize the utility of CEC in their content area. Focus on the cohesive approach to CEC

Guided practice: *document camera* So I am going to use the strategy of a KWL chart.
Who remembers what a KWL chart is? So making connections between a KWL chart and
a CEC, I would say:
Both a KWL chart and a CEC serve as great three-part graphic organizers of

Both a KWL chart and a CEC help students denote prior knowledge

A CEC has students address challenges and/or questions while a KWL only has
