clues and reactivating Ss information regarding the interrogative, T
helps them to write their questions.

regaring the topics required in the quiz. Therefore, the Ts role is to
monitor the class and interfere when necessary.

T gives Ss worksheets where they can read a text on Lord Baden Powell,

reading, T checks whether there are any unknown words.
T and Ss discuss the Interrogative form of Past Tense Simple. T does this
by asking Ss Yes/No Questions and writing them on the blacboard.
Afterwards, and Ss discuss the structure of these type of questions. Next,
T asks Ss to think of questions in the Past Simple regarding the text. Ss
give oral answers and they may even come and write them on the
blackboard.
Then T tells Ss that the questions they have already discussed about are
called: Yes/No Questions, since they begin with an auxiliary verb such
as did and have a Yes / No answer.
T asks Ss another question regarding the text, which implies the use of a
WH-word. More examples are further provided so that Ss could
understand the structure of WH-questions - they begin with a Wh-word
and have a complex answer; they do not have a yes/no answer. In order to
check Ss understanding, T asks them to come up with their own examples
using these WH-word.
Next, Ss are asked to take a look at exercise 5 on page 2. T explains to Ss
that they have to write questions in the past about Baden Powell using the
