Teaching the Class (before the handouts)
Use the flashcards to elicit and check your students’ understanding of the vocabulary and target structures.
After you’ve gone over the vocabulary and target structures, hand out the worksheets. Write all the new words and phrases on the board and have your students copy them down on page one. (They should write the new words below each image, and the new phrases in the notes section at the bottom.)
Work in Pairs
Have your students work in pairs to complete the information gap. They’ll need to ask each other about what each of the characters do. They should write the correct occupation in the blank boxes.
Now Work Alone
When they are finished the pair work, have your students try the follow-up activity to review their writing skills for this structure. (Make sure they are not doing the follow-up activity and pair work activity at the same time. These are meant to be done separately.)
Listening
For this task you’ll need to decide which character does which job. Tell the class what each person does as they draw a line to the correct picture. Then have students write full sentences based
on their answers in the blanks below.
Group Work
If you’re teaching kids, have them pretend that they have one of the jobs from today’s lesson. They should also write it on the blank line. Students should then walk around the class and ask as many classmates as possible what they do.
