 * ~  || When beginning our unit on dinosaurs we created a chart similar to a KWL. Each student wrote one thing they already knew about dinosaurs on a sticky note. Then we generated a list of questions that we wanted to know about dinosaurs. We talked about relevant questions and ones that were really interesting to learn about. We had to identify the most important ones to seek out an answer to. We also had a box to move the stickies to that was labeled Misconceptions in case our thinking changed during our learning.
