This lesson
plan, which I designed to help
students practice question word order in WH questions, YES/NO questions and
subject questions,
BEFORE WATCHING
Show the
students the photos and explain that all the pictures are taken from the film they are going to watch. Ask them what they think the film is about and what happened to the young couple in the pictures.
· Ask
the students to work in pairs or small groups and to write as many questions as
possible about the story.
Ex.: Where
did they meet?
Who was in
the car?, etc.
· Ask
the groups to compare their questions.
· Tell
the students that the film is about a young man who died in a car accident and
can now get the answer to any question about his life. What questions do you
think he will ask? Divide the class into 2 teams and give them a time limit of
5 minutes to come up with as many questions as they can. Then ask the teams to
compare their questions.
· Ask
them to complete the questions the man is actually asking. Remind them that
they don’t need an auxilary word for subject questions.
