Shine Light on Autism: Lesson on Interrogative Words

April is World Autism Awareness Month. To celebrate, I want to share videos of some of my students who created skits to learn interrogative words. Though only one of the students below is on the autism spectrum, all of the students are special needs. This post is meant to promote the idea that ALL students can gain something from foreign language education.

Lesson Idea:
I taught the students 6 different interrogative words in isolation to lead up to using them as sentence/question starters. After a short introduction, I had the students split up into groups to create their own skits that highlight each interrogative word. Here are 6 of those skits:

¿Por qué? - Why?
¿Qué? - What

¿Cuándo? - When
 ¿Dónde? - Where
¿Quién? - Who


 
¿Cuál? - Which
