A fifth-grade teacher is introducing a chapter about the atmosphere. Which of the following activities would be a beneficial way to connect their background knowledge about the atmosphere to what they will be learning in the chapter?
  1. Ask them to write a report about the atmosphere.
  2. Have them take the end-of-chapter quiz before they read the chapter so they can be prepared for what questions to look for.
  3. Collectively create a KWL chart about the atmosphere.
  4. Discuss vocabulary they will be learning in the chapter.
Explanation
Answer: C - A beneficial way for the teacher to connect his/her students’ background knowledge to what they will be learning in the chapter is to create a KWL chart. A KWL chart will list what they Know about the atmosphere, what they Want to know about the atmosphere, and what they Learned about the atmosphere. The K and W columns can be created before reading the chapter and the Learned column can be created after they read the chapter. The information that they already know acts as a building block for new information.
