Show What You Learned

Worksheet Description

The “Gathering New Information” worksheet is a structured form that prompts students to engage with a text based on a specified topic. The worksheet allows for the entry of the text’s name and provides numbered lines for students to list new things they have learned. Below this, there is a section for students to jot down any questions that arose during their reading. At the bottom of the worksheet, a space is designated for drawing a picture, likely related to the learned material, providing a visual aspect to the learning process.

This worksheet is designed to help students in consolidating their learning by noting key takeaways and formulating questions that can lead to further inquiry or clarification. It teaches them to actively extract information from reading materials and to reflect on this information critically. The inclusion of a space for a picture encourages them to process the information creatively by translating their understanding into a visual representation. This multifaceted approach reinforces learning by engaging different cognitive skills and aids in the retention of new information.
