Asking Questions Using Where

Directions: Today we are going to practice asking and answering

questions that use the question word where. Remember, we ask

questions by using question words. When someone asks a question

using the question word where, they are asking a question about a place.

Note: There may be variations in the sentences created by your class.

Allow for these variations and restate students’ sentences so that

they are grammatically correct. If necessary, have students repeat the

corrected sentence.
