WAC text code:
Wonderings, Ah-has
and Concerns
Read: While you read make text notations: “W” for any Wonderings or questions “A” for any Ahas or agreements “C” for any Challenges or comments with which you disagree
Share: After you read, you will share your WACs with your group in Round Robin format (Please remember to respect your colleagues’ air time by staying in order.).
Round 1. Each person shares one of their Wonders
Round 2. Each person shares their Ahas
Round 3. Each person shares their Challenges
Group Discussion: Group discusses what they heard and what it says about the document; Group discusses any new insights that emerged
Whole Group Share: Group shares any remaining questions about the text or any new insights about the document
Debrief Process: How did this process help add meaning to the text?
