Editor's Notes
- #1 I wanted this mini lesson because I enjoy teaching them in my Spanish class. I teach them in the beginning of the year and constantly spiral them in order to propel the student’s proficiency level upward. I believe that if I arm them with the ability to use the question words I have given them a useful tool that can either a)get them to their hotel from the airport or b) Get them a date with that attractive latino(a) they have been admiring But in the land of ESL, questions words…yes question words also propel proficiency upward buuut because it is “the” English language we are referring to they are accompanied with a host of rules that I had no clue about.
