Asking Appropriate Questions #8

Worksheet Description

The “Asking Appropriate Questions” worksheet is an educational activity designed for students to practice creating questions based on a story they have listened to. The worksheet lists fundamental ‘question words’ like who, what, where, when, why, and how, prompting students to formulate a question that corresponds to each of these starters. After writing their questions, students are instructed to swap papers with a classmate and write answers to the questions posed, thereby engaging in a collaborative learning exercise that involves both question formation and comprehension.

This worksheet is teaching students the essential skill of asking detailed questions for comprehension and engagement with a text. It familiarizes them with different types of questions, each beginning with a distinct interrogative word that guides the focus of the inquiry. By formulating their own questions, students practice critical thinking and active listening. The exchange of papers for answering peers’ questions further enhances their understanding of the text and encourages them to consider different perspectives.
