Why generate your own WH questions

Most teachers running a game-style review start by writing WH questions from the chapter they are covering, since who, what, where, when, why and how prompts work for almost any subject. A ready-made set rarely matches your slides or your textbook, so the questions end up off-target. Generating them from your own material keeps the review aligned with what you actually taught.

  • Write questions that match your exact slides or textbook, not a generic list.
  • Mix WH prompts with multiple choice or true/false for variety during review.
  • Each question includes an explanation so students learn from wrong answers.
  • Start free with 3 generations per month and no credit card.
Example WH questions on the human digestive system
What organ produces bile that helps digest fats?The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to break fat into smaller droplets.
Where does most nutrient absorption take place?The small intestine, because its folds and villi create a very large surface area for nutrients to pass into the blood.
Why does stomach acid not digest the stomach lining?The stomach lining secretes a thick layer of mucus and bicarbonate that protects the tissue from the acid.
How does food move from the pharynx into the stomach?Waves of smooth muscle contraction called peristalsis push food down the esophagus, which is why you can swallow even when upside down.
What enzyme begins starch digestion in the mouth?Salivary amylase, because it is released with saliva and starts breaking starch into smaller sugars such as maltose.

Frequently asked questions

How many WH questions should I write for a digestive system review?

Aim for at least one or two questions per organ, plus a few that connect organs, such as how food moves from the mouth to the small intestine. A focused set of 15 to 20 questions is usually enough for one class session.

What makes a good WH question about the digestive system?

Good ones ask for a specific function or location, like what bile does, where most absorption happens, or why stomach acid does not damage the stomach lining. Avoid questions that can be answered with a single guess, and include the reasoning in the answer.

Can I export WH questions to Moodle or QTI?

Yes, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. PDF and DOCX export are included with Plus at $39 per year or $7.99 per month.
