Here's the Answer - |
This activity is the opposite of what usually happens in the classroom. Explain to students that you will give them the answer to a question and they are to think of the questions that might have resulted in this answer. For each of the answers you read, there will be several possible questions that could have been asked. For example, if the answer is "my birthday," the question might have been:
-- What is your favorite day?
-- What will next Monday be?
Here's the answer - What was the question?
| my lunch | a ball |
| my cat | on Saturday |
| after lunch | a dog |
| Let's ask | cartoons |
| after dinner | my mom |
| when it snows | on my desk |
| on Thanksgiving | in the closet |
| a guitar | my best friend |
| You're kidding! | soon |
| California | my neighbor |
| in the ocean | stop |
| he fell down | in the garden |
| next to the house |
The book also provides several possible questions to go with each of these answers.
