Miss Pat called the class to order and said, “Everyone take out his or her copy of Arthur J’s story, ‘A Bath for Scooter’ and let’s review the 5Ws and 1H of the story.”
Hector looked confused. “Miss Pat,” said Hector, “Please remind me what the 5Ws and 1H are.”
Miss Pat smiled and said, “Every story usually answers the following questions:
What happens in the story?
Who does it happen to?
Why does it happen?
When does it happen?
Where does it happen?
How does it happen?
“Hmmm,” said Hector as he picked up his pencil and began to read Arthur’s story again.
The class grew quiet as each “Can Do” made a list of the 5Ws and 1H. Then each “Can Do” wrote the answers after each one of the 5Ws and 1H.
Okay, ready for the answers to the 5Ws and 1H?
