Practice Activities:
1. Ball Game: Throw the ball to a student and the student uses the teachers model on the board
to introduce themselves: name, job title, job responsibilities. That same student has to reintroduce the previous person using the third person format on the board. Ex. My name is
___________. Im a ___________. I ________________.
Her name is ____________.
Shes a ________________. She _________________.
2.Matching Activity: Students will get a baggie with a set of job pictures, a set of job title
sentence strips, and a set of job responsibility sentence strips. Pair students by having students
form a line in alphabetical order by their job title. Then, pair them with someone next to them.
With their partner, students will match the three pieces of information related to each occupation.
That is, they will match the picture to the job title sentence to the job responsibility sentence.
e.g. (picture of a taxi driver) He is a taxi driver.
He drives people to where
they want to go.
Go over results when all groups have finished.
Application: Teacher hands out Job Title Information Chart. Teacher reads questions across the
top and students repeat. Model question and answering format that is expected with one student.
Teacher writes responses on information chart as a model for students. Students circulate and
talk with other students, writing down responses on their own information charts.
Evaluation Activity: 1. Informal Teacher Observation: Observe Matching Activity in the
Practice section of the lesson. 2. Informal Teacher Observation: Listen as students complete
information chart in Application section of the lesson. 3. Ball Game: Throw the ball to a
student and ask occupation related questions of another student. E.g. What does Jorge do?
What are Anas duties at work? The student responds and then throws the ball to another
student and asks that student a question about someone else.
Reflection Activity: Look at chart of brainstormed job title vocabulary from Warm-Up part of
lesson. Add more job titles to the list. Review for pronunciation and understanding. Have
students think about their family and group of friends. Make a tally next to each job title of how
many family members and friends the students have in those particular occupations.
Extension Activities for the Classroom and Beyond:
1. Give each student a picture of somebody at work. The student writes a paragraph about that
person: name, occupation, job responsibilities, where they work, and if they like their job or not.
2. Have each student make a poster of their best friend. The poster should include a picture,
their best friends name, and information about their job (title, responsibilities, company they
work for, where they work). Present posters to the class.
3. Memory Game: Each person states their occupation in a sentence using the verb to be, e.g.
Im a teacher. After their own personal sentence, they must then repeat all the previous student
information using the third person form of the verb to be. Shes a custodian. Hes a cook.
Hes a construction worker. Shes a babysitter. As the game continues, of course, the students
have to remember more and more information!
