Who? Who are the people?
Who are the characters?
Who is the author and what you’re reading?
If it’s a picture, who’s in the picture? You got to ask who.

What? What are they doing?
What is the reason?
What are they moving?
What is the season?
These are all questions for situations.
You got to ask what? Hold up.
Next up
Where? Where are they standing?
Where is the setting?
Where is the background?
Where are they heading?
Where can you locate them?
Where can you find them?
You have to identify .

What was the reason and why did they choose it?
Let me tell ya bout the five W’s
It’s only 5 (Repeat 4x's)
Who what where when and why
It's only 5 (Repeat 4x's)
Let me tell ya bout the five W’s
It’s only 5 (Repeat 4x's)
