In a KWL chart, which column represents information learned during instruction?

• A. Learned
• B. Know
• C. Want to Know
• D. Understand

Answer: (A)

In a KWL chart, three stages capture the learning process: what you already know, what you want to know, and what you have learned. The column for information learned during instruction is the one labeled Learned. It records the new facts, concepts, or skills you gain as a result of the lesson, showing how your understanding has grown. The Know column is for preexisting knowledge, and the Want to Know column lists questions you have before you start learning. While a word like Understand might seem related, the standard chart uses Learned to reflect the information acquired through instruction. For example, after the lesson you might write in this column: Learned: birds migrate to warmer areas to find food and suitable climate.
