Questions about a Statement

Skills: practicing the formation of wh-questions and yes/no questions

Write a statement on the board. The statement can be about anything, real or absurd. Get the students to think up as many questions about the statement as they can. For example, a statement might be “The moon is made of green cheese.” Students could then come up with questions like:

• “Why is the moon made of green cheese?”• “Has the moon always been made of green cheese?”• “Is it light or dark green cheese?”• “What type of cheese is it?”• “How was it made?”• “What does the cheese taste like?”

"Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

Relay Race:

• Engages students

• Focus on Form

• Gets the students moving around• Gets the students thinking in English

Alternate Version

• Divide into teams.• Teams must write a question about the the funny statement on the board.• Team members can only write one word at a time and must hand off the marker afterword• The first team to write a whole, correct question wins a point.
