Individual Activity 2

Let’s do some warm up first!

A. Are you familiar with KWL Chart? Share your experience in detail as to when, where,
in what subject and topic you have used this as a tool. Describe also how you and your
classmates deal with the use of it; citing the advantages and limitations.
Yes I am familiar with the KWL chart. In my 9 th grade as a high school, it is the first time
that I encountered that when our teacher in Araling Panlipunan Subject instructed us to write up
what we know, what we want to know and what we learned about the Philippine History. She
instructed us to make a three column chart in which we should able to fill up every column
before, during and after the discussion.

I and my classmate are able to make it step by step by writing first what are our prior
knowledge and what we knew about the topic. Then we also stated what we want to learn about
the Philippine history. Then after all, we write up what we learned after our teacher discussed to
us the topic.

KWL chart helps us to monitor the level of knowledge that we have gained. It also help
us to engage actively in the lesson and at the same time it tracks the flow of discussion so that
we are able to organize thoughts about the topic. On the other hand, it seems to be difficult to
complete the KWL chart if we don’t have enough prior knowledge and if we know nothing about
what we want to know and lastly if we are not listen, we are unable to write what we have
learned.

B. Do the following exercises step by step.

Step 1: Study a picture from the internet and create a meme or a question about it.

Question: Why does the word “halalan” is being associated with the “work” of government
officials?

Step 2. Write 1-2 sentences about inflation rate.

Inflation rate is the increase in price of products over a given period of time. It leads to
sudden failure of economic activity in a certain country.

Step 3: Between creating a meme or a question about picture from the internet and
writing sentences about inflation rate, which do you find easier to write about? Explain
your answer.
I found easier to write the sentence about inflation rate than creating a meme or a
question about picture from the internet because I have a prior knowledge about it. It is easy to
comprehend thoughts about inflation rate because it is only application of ideas that I have
about inflation rate. I don’t need to browse in social media to find an answer because what I
learn or what I know about it only matters unlike in creating meme or creating meme, it is
usually time consuming because it needed an apps plus a load for data connection.

After doing these exercises, ponder on these questions:

1. What skill/s is/are being developed when students use K-W-L chart learning?
Skills such as reading comprehension, critical thinking and ability to relate topics are
being developed in KWL chart. It encourages student to write their idea or prior knowledge and
relate it with questions they want to answer and finally come up with the lesson learned from the
topic.

2. What did you discover about your answer in step 3?

I discovered that thinking ability should be used always used in dealing with a certain
task associated with comprehension. The ability to write a certain idea always depends to the
thinking ability and understanding about the subject.
