What's The Question?: Level: Type of Activity: Purpose: Procedure

1. This document describes an English as a Second Language activity called "What's the Question?" where students practice forming questions based on provided statements or answers. 2. The activity involves dividing students into two teams and having representatives from each team take turns providing the question that corresponds to an answer read by the teacher, with the fastest student earning a point. 3. The purpose is for students to practice thinking backwards to form grammatically correct questions, as asking questions is a skill they don't often practice in class where the focus is typically on answering questions.
