"Recently, a curriculum coordinator at a Montreal IB World school asked me how we might assess students’ prior knowledge without using the standard KWL chart format.
It occurred to me that one of the most powerful means of challenging students to think of what they already know is by using a problematic scenario. Such a scenario is usually a complex, ill-structured situation that embeds within it significant curricular concepts that stimulates inquiry at the beginning of a unit and can be used as one of the summative assessments."
Already use aversion of this with my classes KWIRL. The focus is on the I for inquiry, the HOW? of student engagement, R is knowing exactly what the REPORT form is so that you and students can work together to backward map and co-construct rubrics so that they have an enhanced undressing of what the LEARNT.
Creative!
