1. Introduction
Review what we learned last week, and check to make sure that I know students names.
Tell them what their homework will be for the next class.
2.  How do you ask questions?
Using Do, Does, Did

Question Word	Auxiliary	Subject	Infinitive (=verb)
Who How Where When What	Do/Does/Did Depends on tense and subject.	I You He, She, It We You They	Live Have Work Start Talk Cook Make

You can either use ASI (Auxiliary, Subject, Infinitive) to form a question, or you can use QuASI (Question Word, Auxiliary, Subject, Infinitive)
Using to Be

Question Word	Be	Subject	Adjective, Noun, ETC
