In this lesson, students have a great time using their imaginations to collaborate and create their own story following the "how and why" style of common folktales.

Your students are probably used to answering questions. Give them a chance to ask their own with this imaginative lesson on reading comprehension and the ways one can use who, what, when, where, and why.

Do you have students who are constantly asking what, who, where, why, how, and when? It's your turn to ask now! Have them read various stories and ask them to answer these questions in this lesson.

Teach your students how to use specific vocabulary as they answer questions. This lesson can stand alone or be used as a pre-lesson for the Questions that Gauge Comprehension lesson plan.

Second grade students will step into the author’s shoes as they hunt for evidence to determine what a nonfiction author’s purpose might be.
