Title: Yes/No Questions and Question Words Lesson Plan
Grade Level: 2
Objective:
- Students will be able to understand and differentiate between yes/no questions and questions using question words.
- Students will practice forming and answering both types of questions.
Materials:
- Chart paper
- Markers
- Whiteboard/dry erase board
- Interactive worksheet (printed or digital)
- Flashcards of question words (e.g., who, what, where, when, why)
Procedure:
1. Introduction (10 minutes)
- Begin the lesson by reviewing basic sentence structures and discussing different types of questions.
- Write a simple statement on the board (e.g., "The sun is shining.").
- Ask students how they can turn that statement into a question, and facilitate a brief discussion on the differences between asking a yes/no question and a question using question words.
2. Yes/No Questions (15 minutes)
- Create a chart on the chart paper or whiteboard with two columns: Yes/No Questions and Statements.
- Write a few example statements on one side of the chart (e.g., "You like pizza.").
- Ask students to come up with a corresponding yes/no question for each statement and write it in the other column.
- Encourage students to use question words like "do" or "does" to form the questions correctly.
3. Question Words (15 minutes)
- Introduce the concept of question words by showing flashcards of common question words (e.g., who, what, where, when, why).
- Discuss the meanings and appropriate usage of each question word.
- Write a few statements on the board, leaving blanks for question words to form questions (e.g., "____ is your favorite color?").
- Have students choose a question word flashcard and use it to complete the sentence and form a question.
4. Guided Practice (15 minutes)
- Distribute the interactive worksheet or display it digitally.
- Instruct students to read the given statements and turn them into questions, selecting the appropriate type of question (yes/no or question word) for each.
- Walk around the classroom to provide assistance and clarification as needed.
- Review and discuss the answers as a class, ensuring students understand the correct formation of questions.
5. Independent Practice (15 minutes)
- Students will work individually or in pairs to create their own questions using both yes/no and question words.
- Encourage students to be creative and use different topics or contexts.
- Allow students to share and ask their questions with the whole class if time permits.
6. Conclusion (5 minutes)
- Conduct a brief wrap-up discussion, reviewing the difference between yes/no questions and questions using question words.
- Ask students to summarize what they learned about forming and answering these types of questions.
- Answer any remaining questions or clarify any confusion from the lesson.
Extension Activity:
- Play a game of "Question Word Pictionary." Give each student a question word flashcard and have them draw a picture representing that word without using letters or numbers. Other students then try to guess the question word being illustrated.
