No-Glamour Question Structure: Wh-Questions

There are six units: Who Where When What Why How Each unit follows this teaching hierarchy: Target Questions and Modeling Script Twenty target questions are listed in a hierarchy of difficulty. A modeling script provides an example of metacognitive strategy teaching you can use with every question in that unit. The script changes as the wh- question type changes. Picture Worksheets Two picture sequences are presented for each target question. The first picture sequence presents a statement. The second picture sequence elicits a question about the previous statement. Each picture sequence begins with a large question mark that contains the wh- question word to help students visualize the word order of the question. Nouns and pronouns are used throughout the program. Unit Review Sheets A four-page review is provided at the end of each unit. Students generate questions using the target question form while looking at pictures. A Wrap-up section at the end of the book presents ten new stimulus pictures. Beneath each picture, four initial wh- question words are presented. Students formulate novel whquestions while looking at the pictures. Use this unit to assess oral and/or written question-asking skills and as a natural transition to question formulation using picture scenes from other sources. Copyright © 2008
