Topic: Question Words in Telugu (ప్రశ్నార్ధక పదాలు)

Lesson Objectives:

• Students will identify and understand the use of basic question words in Telugu.
• Students will construct simple sentences using question words.
• Students will reinforce learning through a student-friendly video.

Materials Required:

• Flashcards with Telugu question words (ఎవరు, ఏమి, ఎక్కడ, ఎప్పుడు, ఎందుకు, ఎలా).
• Picture cards depicting scenarios (e.g., a person, a place, an object).
• Whiteboard and markers.
• Worksheet for practice.
• Video on Telugu question words (custom-created or downloaded).

1. Introduction: 

• Begin with a Story (Engagement): Narrate a short, simple story in Telugu that uses question words naturally. For example: "రవి స్కూల్‌కు వెళ్ళాడు. రవి ఎవరిని కలిశాడు? అతను ఎక్కడకి వెళ్ళాడు? ఎందుకు వెళ్ళాడు?"
• After the story, ask students: "కథలో ఎవరెవరు ఉన్నారు?" "మీరు కథ నుండి ఏమి గ్రహించారు?"
• Write the question words from the story on the board: ఎవరు, ఏమి, ఎక్కడ, ఎప్పుడు, ఎందుకు, ఎలా.

2. Explanation :

• Introduce the meaning of each question word:
• ఎవరు - Who
• ఏమీ - What
• ఎక్కడ - Where
• ఎప్పుడు - When
• ఎందుకు - Why
• ఎలా - How

Give examples for each word:

1. ఎవరు: ఇది ఎవరి పుస్తకం?
2. ఏమీ: ఇది ఏమిటి?
3. ఎక్కడ: నీ పుస్తకాలు ఎక్కడ ఉన్నాయి?
4. ఎప్పుడు: నీ పుట్టినరోజు ఎప్పుడు?
5. ఎందుకు: నీవు బడికి ఎందుకు ఆలస్యంగా వచ్చావు?
6. ఎలా: ఇది ఎలా పని చేస్తుంది?

3. Student Video: Reinforcement

• Play a short, engaging video that explains and demonstrates Telugu question words through animations or examples.
• Example content in the video: A conversation between two cartoon characters asking and answering questions using ఎవరు, ఏమి, ఎక్కడ, ఎప్పుడు, ఎందుకు, ఎలా.
• Pause the video occasionally to ask students to repeat or answer questions.

Suggested Actions for Teachers:

• Encourage students to repeat the question words aloud after hearing them in the video.
• After the video, ask a few questions related to the content shown in the video.

4. Activity 1: Match the Questions

• Setup: Distribute flashcards with question words and picture cards with scenarios.
• Task: Students must match the correct question word with the scenario. 
• For example:
• Picture of a person → ఎవరు
• Picture of a clock → ఎప్పుడు
• Picture of a place → ఎక్కడ

5. Activity 2: Group Activity - Ask and Answer

• Divide the class into small groups.
• Each group must create a question using one question word and ask it to another group.
• For example:
• Group 1: "నీవు స్కూల్‌కు ఎలా వెళ్ళావు?"
• Group 2 answers.

6. Conclusion and Assessment

• Recap the question words by asking quick questions to the students.
• Use the video below to recap.
• Distribute a worksheet with fill-in-the-blanks and matching exercises, such as:
• ___  రేవంత్ అని పిలుస్తారు? (ఎవరు, ఎప్పుడు)
• నీ పెన్ ___ ఉంది? (ఎక్కడ, ఏమి)
