A K-W-H-L chart is a useful tool for gathering information, solving a problem, and thinking through a research topic. Fill in the chart below with ideas, notes, and calculations. Complete sentences are not needed for this part of the research.
Begin with scientific facts you have learned from the book (Examples — Birds are predators. Birds don’t like the taste of monarch butterflies. The butterflies go to Mexico.). Next, determine what you would like to know (Examples — What other animals are predators? Why don’t birds like the taste? Where in Mexico do they go?).
Now, divide into research teams. Your team will have to figure out how to get the answer,
write the answer, and then present the answer to the class. (The
resources listed in the read and
research section of this website may be helpful.)
The final presentation can also take a creative approach — Students may present this in a skit, a rap, a poster, an oral presentation or whatever best demonstrates this knowledge.
