Questions and Question Marks - PowerPoint

The 'Questions and Question Marks' PowerPoint is an educational resource that aims to help primary school students recognise and correctly write questions using question marks. The lesson begins with an introduction to the concept of questions, highlighting the importance of using a question mark at the end of a sentence. Students are encouraged to think of and write questions starting with common interrogative words such as 'who', 'what', 'why', 'when', 'where', and 'how'. Examples are provided for each word, like "Who won the race?" and "What time is it?", to illustrate how questions are formed.

Further slides in the presentation prompt students to complete sentences with the correct question word and to identify whether given sentences are questions, requiring them to add either a full stop or a question mark as appropriate. The resource also includes exercises where students are shown answers and asked to think of the corresponding questions, reinforcing their understanding of question formation. Additionally, there are activities where students must rewrite sentences to include capital letters and correct punctuation. The PowerPoint emphasises the rule that every question should start with a capital letter and end with a question mark, ensuring students grasp the fundamental aspects of writing questions in English.
