Chart for a few of the habitats in this domain. Use the KWL Chart to
record what students already know about a habitat (K), what they
wonder about a habitat (W), and what they have learned about a
habitat (L). Introduce the KWL Chart during Purpose for Listening, and
record what students already know and what they wonder; continue
the KWL Chart during Comprehension Questions, and record what
they have learned. Revisit the KWL Chart when the class reviews the
habitat.
