(Students will do as told) Through the questions given. At the end of the lesson the students should be able to: a.       know what each WH questions ask for; b.      construct WH questions; and c.       use WH questions in a given activity. I think our topic for today is all about WH questions. WH questions are questions which starts with what, when, where, who, why, and how. We use the word “who” when we asked for a person. We use the word “what” for a thing or specific ideas and information. We use it for constructing questions which ask for a date or time. We use it for constructing questions which ask for a place. We use it for asking reasons why something happened. We use it for asking a way in which the action or thing is done. It may also ask for a number or condition. WH questions are questions which starts with what, when, where, who, why and how. What is for a person or specific idea and information. Who is for a person. When is for a date or time. Where is for a place or location. Why is for reason. How is for condition or the way a thing is done or a number. These questions are important for writing down important key points or summarizing ideas. None sir! Yes sir! Yes sir!                         G1- Present an announcement. Your announcement should contain important information using the WH questions. G2- Present a scenario in a hospital and use the WH questions in your conversation. G3- Compose a letter for a long lost friend. Your letter should contain WH questions addressed to your long lost friend. (students will do as told) None sir! Yes sir!
