I am a visual learner so I need to have all the facts and all my questions in front of me to see with my own eyes. With the KWL I was able to place my thoughts on what I know and what I want to learn in work form. When I did this process, it brought more questions to my mind. KWL charts can be used for lesson plans for students or communication with parents because it helps you observe and assess the situation at hand. You can place your observations in chart form with what you know what you want to learn and what you want to know, and it will be easy to read. You can then communicate these items to the parents and have documentation. These charts provide you with a starting point for your lesson plan. It allows you to take what you have and place it in a lesson plan that coordinates with the piles for development.
