</div>### Introduction Activity- (10 minutes)

#####   **“Who Am I?”** 

- The teacher will describe a person or an object without naming it. For example: "I am a place where you can see many animals. (I am a zoo.)
- Students will guess the object/person by asking questions like "What is it?" or "Where is it?"

1. "Who is your teacher?"
2. "Where do you live?"
3. "What time is it?"

- The teacher will encourage students to form full questions, guiding them to include the WH words in their sentences.

### Main Topic/Activity (60 minutes)

#####  **Review of Previous Session:"Quick Recap of WH Questions" (15 minutes)**

- The teacher briefly reviews the basic WH questions (What, Where, When, Who, Why) with simple examples.
- The teacher writes the question words on the board and asks students to form questions using them. For example:

1. "Who is your teacher?"
2. "Where do you live?"
3. - "What time is it?"

- This activity will refresh the students' understanding of WH questions before moving to more complex sentence structures.

##### **Introduction to Complex Question structures** **(20 minutes)**

- Explanation: The teacher introduces the structure of more complex WH questions like "Why are you happy?" vs. "Why is the sky blue?"
- Explain that more complex questions may involve different subjects (e.g., person, animal, place) and verbs (e.g., am, are, is, do, did, etc.).
- The teacher writes a few complex questions on the board and asks students to identify the structure:

1. "Who is your friend?"
2. "Why are you happy?"
3. "Where do you go after school?"

- Tell them verbs like am, is, are, do, did, etc are some auxiliary verbs and these are used in most of WH question structures

#####  **"Question Creation Challenge"(25 minutes)**

 **Objective:** This activity provide students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge of complex question structures in a group setting, reinforcing their understanding through peer interaction.

- Provide the students pictures of various situations like a family eating dinner, a person traveling, a student studying).
- Divide students into small groups and tell them to form complex WH questions about the pictures. For example:

1. "What are they eating?"
2. "Why is the person traveling?"
3. "Who is studying?"

- After forming the questions, students will take turns asking and answering their questions within their groups.

###  Follow up Tasks (5 minutes)

 Ask them to prepare 5 WH questions to their friend like what they want to know about their friend like “What is your favorite colour ?,” “Where did you buy this bag ?”etc

### Review Questions/Assessment Task (10 minutes)

#####   **"WH Questions in Action"**

- The teacher will call on students randomly to answer a question about themselves. For example

1. "Why do you like your favorite subject?"
2. "Who is your favorite teacher?"
3. "What is your favorite hobby?"

- Students will answer the questions in full sentences. The teacher will correct any mistakes in question formation or response structure.

###  Expected Learning Outcome:

**Skill Building**

- Students craft complex WH questions from visual prompts, enhancing analytical skills.
- Real-life Q&amp;A builds confidence in spontaneous communicatio

**Knowledge Building**

- Complex Question Structures – Students learn to form advanced WH questions using auxiliary verbs (e.g., "Why are you happy?" vs. "Why is the sky blue?").
- Subject-Verb Agreement – Understand how to match WH words with correct verbs (e.g., "Who is..." for singular, "Where are..." for plural).
