Class: Primary 2

Subject: English Studies

Topic: Asking Questions with Question Identification Markers

Duration: 45 minutes

Instructional Materials:

• Whiteboard and markers
• Pictures or flashcards with scenes and objects
• Sentence strips with question words (who, what, when, where, why, how)

Entry Behaviour: Start by asking students if they know what questions are and if they can think of any words that help us ask questions.

Behavioural Objectives: By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

1. Identify and use question identification markers (who, what, when, where, why).
2. Form questions using these markers.
3. Ask questions about pictures or scenes.

Previous Lesson: Review the previous lesson on sentence structure and how sentences are made up of words.

Content:

1. Who?
   • Explanation: “Who” is used to ask about people or someone’s identity.
   • Example: “Who is your best friend?”
2. What?
   • Explanation: “What” is used to ask about things, actions, or events.
   • Example: “What is your favorite toy?”
3. When?
   • Explanation: “When” is used to ask about the time or the timing of an event.
   • Example: “When is your birthday?”
4. Where?
   • Explanation: “Where” is used to ask about a location or place.
   • Example: “Where did you go on vacation?”
5. Why?
   • Explanation: “Why” is used to ask about the reason or cause behind something.
   • Example: “Why do you like ice cream?”

These question words help us gather information and understand more about people, things, events, time, places, and reasons for actions. Asking questions with these words makes conversations more interesting and helps us learn new things.

Step by Step Presentation:

Step 1: Introduction (5 minutes)

• Explain that today, we will learn how to ask questions using special words.
• Show sentence strips with question words (who, what, when, where, why) and explain what each word means.

Step 2: Question Identification (10 minutes)

• Use pictures or flashcards with scenes or objects. For example, show a picture of children playing in a park.
• Ask students to identify what they see and then use question words to ask questions about the picture. For instance, “Who are the children playing in the park?”

Step 3: Practice (15 minutes)

• Give students more pictures or scenes and have them take turns asking questions using question words. Encourage creativity and curiosity.
• Provide guidance and feedback as they practice.

Step 4: Question Formation (10 minutes)

• Explain the structure of questions using question words. For example, “Who + verb + object?” or “What + verb + object?”
• Show examples and ask students to create their own questions using question words.

Step 5: Evaluation (3 minutes)

• Ask students to form questions about a new picture or scene you provide.
• Review their questions to see if they used question words correctly.

Conclusion (2 minutes)

• Summarize the lesson by emphasizing the importance of asking questions to learn and understand the world around us.
• Encourage students to keep practicing asking questions in daily life.
