Start by telling a brief story about an unexpected question a child asked me once ("Why are bad people bad"?). I then ask them to share any strange and difficult questions they have received from children in their lives. I will then say that this lesson will be focused on words related to asking and answering questions.

Tell the students we will go over a text about a child who asks his father a lot of questions, and what his father decided to do. Have the students first read the text for gist, asking them to answer the following question: "What was Mr. Jamieson's solution to his child's questions?" Then after that first read-through, have them look at the text again, and highlight as many words as they can find related to questions and answers.

After higlighting the words in the text, clarify meaning by having students do exercise 2A (p. 59), where they have to match the right pair of words to the situation. This exercise will be followed by a series of concept questions. For example "which one is angrier? a discussion or an argument?" We could also form a cline to order the word pairs "question/wonder", "inquire/look into" and "research/investigate" by how much effort the person puts into answering a question. Make sure to emphasize the difference between "research" and "investigate". Even though they're similar, in English "investigation" is used more for criminal and police cases, while "research" is preferred for academic contexts. This is important to highlight because in Spanish the word "investigar" is the one used for academic purposes, so that confusion is likely ro appear. Then we can move to form with an exercise where students have to categorize the words in two categories: words that are only verbs, or words that can be verbs and nouns. After they're finished categorizing, prompt them to give the proper noun form for words that are only verbs (eg. "investigate --> investigation", "discuss --> discussion") For pronunciation, review potentially tricky examples, such as the "ch" sound in "question", the "rl" sound in "quarrel" (which can be challenging for Spanish speakers). Check the linking of the words "look into", and finally explain that "research" is usually stressed on the first syllable in American English, but on the second syllable in UK English.

Have students work on Exercise 3A (p. 66), where they have to find the right lexis term (which has been jumbled up into an anagram). Have students do peer check, and then OCFB.

Have students to Exercise 3B (p. 66), where they take the statements from Exercise 3A and complete them to make them true for themselves. They can choose four to fill out. Then students will ask each other about them.
