Let's solve the "Wh Questions - Information Gap" activity step by step.

Objective:

Use the information from both tables to complete the missing details in each person’s row. The goal is to fill in the blanks using logical deduction and matching clues across the two tables.

Step 1: Understand the structure

There are two tables:

- Top Table (Incomplete):
- Chris, Sally, John, Kelly, Peter
- Some info is missing.

- Bottom Table (Incomplete):
- Same people, but different info is missing.

We need to use the overlapping data to deduce missing values.

Let’s go through each person one by one.

Step 2: Analyze known facts

#### From Top Table:
| Name | When? | What? | How? | Where? | Who? |
|--------|-----------|-------------|------|-----------|----------|
| Chris | birthday? | chicken | 15 | ? | ? |
| Sally | 02/15 | ? | 14 | France | ? |
| John | ? | fish | ? | ? | Chris |
| Kelly | 11/07 | ? | 10 | Spain | Sally |
| Peter | ? | coke | ? | ? | John |

#### From Bottom Table:
| Name | When? | What? | How? | Where? | Who? |
|--------|-----------|-------------|------|------------|----------|
| Chris | 03/10 | ? | ? | England | Peter |
| Sally | ? | pizza | ? | ? | Kelly |
| John | 12/24 | ? | 18 | U.S.A. | ? |
| Kelly | ? | steak | ? | ? | ? |
| Peter | 07/22 | ? | 17 | Canada | ? |

Step 3: Fill in the gaps using logic

Let’s start with Chris.

#### Chris:
- From bottom table: birthday = 03/10, country = England, best friend = Peter
- From top table: favorite food = chicken, age = 15, best friend = ?

So we can now fill in:
- Chris → birthday: 03/10, favorite food: chicken, age: 15, country: England, best friend: Peter

Now update top table for Chris:
- When? → 03/10
- Where? → England
- Who? → Peter

And bottom table:
- What? → chicken (from top)
- How? → 15 (from top)

So now:
- Chris: 03/10, chicken, 15, England, Peter

✔ Complete.

#### Sally:
- Top table: birthday = 02/15, age = 14, country = France
- Bottom table: favorite food = pizza, best friend = Kelly

So:
- Sally → birthday: 02/15, favorite food: pizza, age: 14, country: France, best friend: Kelly

Update both tables accordingly.

In top table, "What?" is missing → fill with pizza

In bottom table, "When?" is missing → fill with 02/15

Also, in bottom table, "Where?" is missing → France

✔ Sally complete.

---

#### John:
- Top table: favorite food = fish, best friend = Chris
- Bottom table: birthday = 12/24, age = 18, country = U.S.A.

So:
- John → birthday: 12/24, favorite food: fish, age: 18, country: U.S.A., best friend: Chris

Update:
- Top table: When? → 12/24, How? → 18, Where? → U.S.A.
- Bottom table: What? → fish, Who? → Chris

✔ John complete.

---

#### Kelly:
- Top table: birthday = 11/07, age = 10, country = Spain, best friend = Sally
- Bottom table: favorite food = steak

So:
- Kelly → birthday: 11/07, favorite food: steak, age: 10, country: Spain, best friend: Sally

Update:
- Top table: What? → steak
- Bottom table: When? → 11/07, How? → 10, Where? → Spain, Who? → Sally

✔ Kelly complete.

---

#### Peter:
- Top table: favorite food = coke, best friend = John
- Bottom table: birthday = 07/22, age = 17, country = Canada

So:
- Peter → birthday: 07/22, favorite food: coke, age: 17, country: Canada, best friend: John

Update:
- Top table: When? → 07/22, How? → 17, Where? → Canada
- Bottom table: What? → coke, Who? → John

✔ Peter complete.

---

Final Answer:

Now both tables are fully completed.

---

✔ Completed Tables:

#### Top Table:
| Name | When? | What? | How? | Where? | Who? |
|--------|-----------|-------------|------|-----------|----------|
| Chris | 03/10 | chicken | 15 | England | Peter |
| Sally | 02/15 | pizza | 14 | France | Kelly |
| John | 12/24 | fish | 18 | U.S.A. | Chris |
| Kelly | 11/07 | steak | 10 | Spain | Sally |
| Peter | 07/22 | coke | 17 | Canada | John |

#### Bottom Table:
| Name | When? | What? | How? | Where? | Who? |
|--------|-----------|-------------|------|------------|----------|
| Chris | 03/10 | chicken | 15 | England | Peter |
| Sally | 02/15 | pizza | 14 | France | Kelly |
| John | 12/24 | fish | 18 | U.S.A. | Chris |
| Kelly | 11/07 | steak | 10 | Spain | Sally |
| Peter | 07/22 | coke | 17 | Canada | John |

Summary of Deductions:

- Used matching names to cross-reference data between tables.
- Filled in missing values based on consistency across both tables.
- Each person has a unique birthday, favorite food, age, country, and best friend.

This is a classic information gap exercise where students ask questions like “When is Chris’s birthday?” or “Who is John’s best friend?” to complete the tables.

✔ All information is now complete and consistent!
