KWL chart in class 8 - Sunel (Diniyat)

Teacher's reflections: Before starting the lesson regarding "Misr (Egypt)" I asked the students to prepare a KWL chart and instructed them how to prepare it. Each student made the chart individually in their own notebooks. First I instructed them to write 'What I KNOW about Misr' then I instructed to make other column and write 'What I WANT to know about 'Misr' and after completing the lesson next day I asked them to make 3rd column and write 'What I LEARNED about 'Misr'.

It was a success as all the leaning for those 2 days were interesting and many WANTs were answered. For some of them WANTs I asked them to search them on internet / library.

Great idea to use this GO here. Few questions:
1. Did the kids get to share what they already new? Did that reveal any wrong information or misconceptions that you had to clear?
2. Did doing this activity affect the engagement level of kids?
