k/W/L chart

Directions:

Use this chart to record your thinking before, during and after reading a New York Times article. To

begin, use the “K” or “What I Know” column to make a list of things you already know about the topic before you

read. In the “W” or “What I Want to Know” column, make a list of questions that occur to you either before you

read or while you’re reading. Finally, in the “L” or “What I Learned” column, make a list of facts you learned from

the article, including, if possible, the answers to some of your questions.
