Asking Questions
Combine words to write a sentence that has to be answered. Put a ? at the end.
A question grid asks you to combine some words in a table with your own, to make some questions.

Asking Open Questions
There are two types of questions: open and closed.
Closed questions can be answered with 1 or only a few words. Answers to closed questions are limited.
Examples:
What song are you listening to?
When is lunch?
Who is singing?
Where is the concert?
Open questions have longer more meaningful answers based on feelings, thoughts or knowledge. Often open questions start with why or how.
Examples:
Why do we listen to music?

How does a band get together?
