The Five Ws and H

[heonyounghlee]

So I'm trying to teach the 5 Ws and H to my 3rd-5th graders, and other than explaining to them the basics of it, I'm not sure how I can help then practice and use it.
I was trying to make a game for it, but does anyone have any ideas for a ppt game or something that will keep their interest?
Thank you for your help.

you could always have them try to come up with questions using the 5WH...Jeapordy (sp?)

I adapted the 2nd lesson (part of the how are you folder  from Ben 1981.

"how you doing" - It includes the 5W+H. I used it yesterday with my after school high schoolers and worked well. Was a little difficult for them as they are quite low level

You could start by reading them a short story, then review the plot of the story by asking the 5Ws and H and writing them on the board. This will also help with reading comprehension.  You could also create a "Who Done It?" type of mystery/story and have the students figure it out by using the 5Ws and H. I hope this helps.

Can't find the owner of the attached powerpoint, but I used it the other day and it worked well.

Also tried the game at the link below. Their sentences made no sense but they thought it was fun anyway.

I just tried out this questions review game in my classes: http://waygook.org/index.php/topic,6508.0.html

Worked great, they were engaged and had fun. Check it out!
