KWL Chart
This is a great, versatile strategy
to start off any session. It helps get at the topics your student wants to
cover. It can be used for any subject matter, with any number of students. As many of you begin to work with paired students, instead of simply asking what your students have questions on, think about using the KWL chart to determine what both of your students want to work on!
How to set it up:
It works best on a
whiteboard or larger board, but it can also work on a piece of paper. Title
three columns: What I Know (K), What I Want to Know (W), and
What I Learned (L). Have your student fill out the first two columns with what they
know from lecture, and what they were confused on/want to go over more in depth
in tutoring. At the end of your session, have your student fill out the Learned column as the closing.
If you work with paired students you can ask one student who puts something in the Know column to explain something to the other student. It can be a great way to assign topics for an 'Assign the Expert' activity.
