The 5 W's is a method for asking questions about places or events by focusing on who, what, where, when and why. The document provides an example of using the 5 W's to ask questions about an image, such as where is this, what caused it, who was affected, why are buildings like this, and when did it happen. Readers are then prompted to look at additional images and use the 5 W's to generate their own questions.
