Andrea Rice planned a lesson to help her middle school ELL students practice using reversed wh-cleft/inverted pseudo-cleft sentences. She started by asking this question, What would you like for your birthday? Which student responded with the correct construction?
a. Carlos: What I want for my birthday is a new X-box.
b. Manuel: A soccer ball is what I want for my birthday.
c. Lucia: All I want for my birthday is to see my grandmother.
d. Sandra: What I want for my birthday is a fiesta with my family.
