What are interrogative pronouns? An interrogative pronoun is used to ask questions. Wh-questions are used to ask for information about an event or a situation. A wh-question consists of an interrogative pronoun i.e. who, what, where, when, why followed by a verb and a noun complement. Word order is subject-verb-object. For example, "What's the date?�? "Where are you?�? "Who is he?�?, "When is it?�? "What's the time?�? Here's a simple activity that I've used in class to teach the five w's to my students.
Date: Sunday, June 1st, 2006 Place: Mickey Mouse House, Tokyo Disneyland Time: at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. See you at my party! Question: What's this? Question: Who is Mickey Mouse? Question: Where is the party? Question: Why is Mickey Mouse having a party? I review the grammar points in class and then distribute the invitation handout to the students. Write the questions on the board and/or prepare a handout with the questions to give out. Have the students work in pairs or in small groups to come up with the answers. Take up the questions in class. Students correct their answers. If time permits, have the students practice in pairs asking and answering the questions. I hope this lesson plan sparks ideas for preparing your own lesson on teaching students interrogative pronouns.

A great idea with an invitation card, but may be a bit too complicated with this "is having" because there are two verbs here actually. May be something with Present Simple would be better or you should give more explanations about these link-verbs and -ing forms? But thanks a lot for the idea.
