• 
  Give groups 3-5 minutes to complete the task and then invite a representative from each
  

group to come to the board and write the number of each question to show the order suggested by their group. Ask them to explain their decisions.
NB Different groups may have different orders, so in the table four numbers might appear near each question. Accept all answers and do not let participants turn this exercise into a debate.

• 
  (5 min) Say or elicit that the easiest type of question is a YES/NO question because it requires a short answer. This type of question is even easier to answer if the answer can be SEEN in the picture. Thus, Question 2 could be the first. Wh-questions are more difficult to answer and usually the most difficult type of Wh-questions is a WHY question. If the answer to such a question cannot be seen but we must guess it or imagine something, it is even more difficult to answer it. However, the words in the bubble in this picture make it a little bit easier to answer Question 1 than Question 4, that’s why the numbers 4 and 5 are given with a slash.
