WWWH

As the team members continue researching options, it will become more important for them to consider efficiency in their research. To help, the team can use the What – Who – When – How (WWWH) strategy tool. Your team can use this tool in tandem with the K-W-L Chart, but the team is not required to do so.

To use the WWWH tool, list items that the team wants to research in the “What” column. Team members then volunteer to research and learn about each item. The team member who volunteers for each “What” item should be listed in the “Who” column next to the item. The team member then commits to a time when the research will be finished. All the team members then suggest ways to conduct the research and then list those ways in the “How” column.

😀 Team Manager Tip: You may need to establish rules as the team begins to research information on its own. Rules of the Road features information regarding Internet safety. Keep the K-W-L and WWWH Charts for future reference. For now, they can keep track of the types of knowledge the team needs to acquire. Later, you’ll find they detail what the team has learned over the course of a season.
