"Good morning, everyone! I hope you’re all well today. Let’s start our lesson with a quick icebreaker. I want each of you to introduce yourselves. Please say your name and share your job title. For example, my name is [Teacher's Name], and I’m your teacher. Now let’s go around the room. Who wants to go first?"
Wait for each student to introduce themselves and listen attentively.
"Thank you all for sharing! It’s great to learn about everyone's roles."
"Now that we know each other a bit better, let’s dive into today's vocabulary. We will learn some key words related to professions and work environments. I have a whiteboard here, and I’ll write down the words as we go."
Write the following on the whiteboard: Manager, Engineer, Doctor, Teacher, Chef, and Office. Explain each word as you go.
"Now, repeat after me: 'Manager', 'Engineer', 'Doctor', 'Teacher', 'Chef', 'Office'. Excellent! Let’s ensure we understand these words clearly. Can anyone give me a sentence using one of these vocabulary words?"
Encourage a few students to share sentences.
"Great job, everyone! This vocabulary will help us with our next activity."
"Let’s move on to our group activity. I want you to form small groups of four. Each group will receive several job cards that describe different roles and requirements. Once you have your job cards, I want you to discuss within your group how these roles connect to your own experiences. Be sure to use the vocabulary we just learned."
Distribute job cards to each group and give them 10 minutes to discuss.
"Okay, time’s up! I hope you all had great discussions. Would anyone like to share something interesting you talked about in your group?"
Allow groups to share their discussions.
"Now, let’s take a short break to refresh our minds and bodies. I’ll lead us through a quick physical activity. Everyone, please stand up and follow my lead!"
Guide the students through simple stretching exercises or a quick game like “Simon Says.”
"Alright, that was great! I hope you’re feeling more energized."
"Let’s get back to work. Now, I would like each of you to take a few minutes to practice describing your own job individually. Use the vocabulary we’ve learned today. Think about what your role is, what you do, and what skills are important for your job."
Give students 10 minutes to write and practice their descriptions.
"Would anyone like to share what they’ve come up with? Remember, use the vocabulary we discussed!"
Encourage a few students to share their descriptions.
"Fantastic job today, everyone! Before we wrap up, I have a homework assignment for you. I want you to write a short paragraph about your job. Make sure to use the vocabulary we learned in class. You don’t need to prepare for any presentations, just write it down."
"When you come back, we’ll share some of your thoughts with your classmates. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Keep up the great work, and I’ll see you next time!"
