摘要：Today’s education field in Malaysia has undergone various transformations in line with progressive global educational trends. Henceforth, revolution of teaching and learning styles, methods and approaches are essential to ensure that students’ learning, skills and thinking are optimized and concurrently nurture motivated and confident learners starting from primary school level. Numerous studies on teaching and learning writing had highlighted that it is one of the most challenging skills to be mastered in English language. With respect to this, this study aims to explore the necessity of incorporating WH-Foldable Cube to facilitate expansion of ideas in teaching story prompt lessons. WH-Foldable Cube is a writing learning strategy which emphasised on expansion of ideas through the use of question words to facilitate generation of ideas in writing story prompt. Expansion of ideas becomes less strenuous through students’ engagement with the question words that are used in the WH-Foldable Cube template to stimulate their thinking about the pictures stimulus given. The data were collected using writing tasks and interview which were administered among five Year 5 students in SK Parish, a sub-urban school in Balingian district. The findings of the study revealed that majority of the respondents agreed that the use of WH-Foldable Cube had positive impacts towards their story prompt writing to generate and expand their ideas. This research also highlighted the potential use of WH-Foldable Cube to expand students’ motivation and confidence in their learning.
