A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Check print contrast so the bold information remains obvious to learners.
- Compare the London journey with the public-holiday reason to decide what information the question should request.
- Have learners draft the weight, lunch cost and campsite-duration questions before consulting any models.
- Discuss the bicycle-repair item and how a who-subject question differs from a question about an object.
Support and extension
Learners can write one new answer with a bold phrase for a partner. Check its intended question yourself before using student-made items more widely.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
