We started by watching a video on different children's plans for their future:
Using these vocabulary hand-outs, we discussed the different jobs there are and what they basically do:
Vocabulary hand-out: Jobs
I gave them an exercise where three children talked about what they were good at, asking the students to advise them on their future profession. (Of course, there is no specific correct answer)
What do you advise them to be? Exercise
Then we had a Writing session. For second language students, writing is the most daunting task because there is a lot to worry about (sentence formation, grammar, vocabulary, spelling..). To make it less stressful, I assured them not to worry about making spelling or grammar mistakes and to just go along with whatever comes to their head.
They wrote very impressive paragraphs on their dream jobs. It helps to put useful phrases that they could use in their writing.
Writing Exercise: Your dream job
The class ended with the usual Listening Exercises- with three audios from Randall's ESL Listening Lab- Train tickets, Lost in the Crowd and Saturday's Chores.
Their homework had a list of work places and pictures of work places, which they had to match, and write down who works there (one profession). Each student had a slightly different version - I have uploaded one version
Homework- Who works here?
