Educational
 Goals
 and
 Expectations

Although
  every
  content
  area
  uses
  standards,
  each
  teacher
  needs
  to
  review
  the
  goals
  from
  the
  content
  area

being
 taught
 and
 then
 apply
 the
 KWL
 strategy
 to
 these
 guidelines.
 Some
 examples
 from
 four
 major
 content
 areas
 will
 be

described
 under
 “National
 Standards.”

National
  standards:
  Find
  reading
  standards
  in
  your
  content
  area
  that
  apply
  to
  what
  you
  have
  been
  reading
  using
  the

KWL
 method.
 For
 example:
 English/Language
 Arts
 and
 Reading:

 Reviews
 a
 wide
 range
 of
 texts
 to
 communicate
 ideas.
 (Standard
 1)

 Encourages
  students
  to
  experience
  different
  kinds
  of
  texts,
  uses
  their
  phonological
  awareness
  (their

understanding
 the
 words
 can
 be
 broken
 into
 separate
 sounds)
 and
 uses
 critical
 thinking
 to
 identify
 elements
 in

the
 text
 and
 create
 meaning.
 (Standard
 3)

 Encourages
 students
 to
 participate
 as
 critical
 members
 of
 a
 literacy
 community.
 (Standard
 11)

 Encourages
 students
 to
 use
 language
 to
 accomplish
 their
 own
 purpose
 for
 understanding.
 (Standard
 12)

Math:

 Helps
 students
 understand
 patterns,
 relations,
 and
 function,
 as
 they
 represent,
 analyze,
 and
 generalize
 a
 variety

of
 different
 word
 patterns.
 (Algebra
 standard)

 Helps
  students
  organize
  and
  consolidate
  mathematical
  thinking
  through
  communication
  as
  they
  communicate

mathematical
 thoughts
 coherently
 and
 clearly
 to
 other
 students
 and
 the
 teacher.
 (Communication
 standard)

 Helps
 students
 analyze
 and
 evaluate
 the
 mathematical
 problem-­‐solving
 type
 of
 thinking
 and
 strategies
 of
 others

using
 the
 language
 of
 mathematics
 to
 state
 ideas
 clearly
 and
 concisely.
 (Communication
 standard)

 Helps
 students
 to
 build
 mathematical
 knowledge
 through
 solving
 problems
 that
 occur
 in
 mathematics
 and
 other

contexts
 and
 to
 apply
 and
 adapt
 different
 appropriate
 strategies
 to
 solve
 problems
 as
 they
 reflect
 on
 the
 process

of
 mathematical
 problem
 solving.
 (Problem-­‐Solving
 standard)

 Helps
  students
  use
  representations
  (KWL)
  to
  organize,
  record,
  and
  communicate
  mathematical
  ideas
  and
  use

representations
  to
  model
  and
  interpret
  physical,
  social,
  and
  mathematical
  phenomena.
  (Representation

standard)

Science

 Students
  identify
  questions
  (form
  questions
  about
  what
  they
  want
  to
  know
  and
  look
  for
  answers
  to
  these

questions)
 that
 can
 be
 answered
 through
 scientific
 investigations;
 students
 form
 questions
 that
 are
 relevant
 and

meaningful;
 students
 become
 a
 community
 of
 learners
 when
 they
 collaborate
 in
 their
 search.
 (Science
 as
 inquiry

standard)

 Students
 read
 to
 find
 answers
 in
 relationship
 to
 both
 personal
 and
 social
 perspectives.
