Information Wheel

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features an “Information Wheel,” a graphic organizer designed to help students process and categorize information they learn from a text. After reading a specified text, students are instructed to generate questions that can be answered by the text. They then fill out each section of the wheel with a question and its corresponding answer. The central circle allows for a topic to be specified, ensuring the questions are relevant and focused.

The worksheet aims to teach students how to actively engage with informational texts by extracting pertinent facts and organizing them logically. It encourages critical thinking as students must formulate their own questions based on the reading material. The information wheel also helps in visualizing the connections between different pieces of information, promoting a deeper understanding of the topic. Moreover, it fosters comprehension skills by directing students to discern which facts align with which questions.
