A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Supply the student page and keep the models for later feedback.

  1. Use the phone-number and teacher examples to distinguish what from who before independent writing.
  2. During pair checking, contrast transport method, lesson day and lunchtime so how, when and what time are not confused.
  3. Review Dad's jacket and the because answer to discuss ownership and reason questions.

Support and extension

For an extension, learners replace a detail with safe fictional information and exchange new questions. Do not require students to share real phone numbers.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
