Introduction:
In this lesson, we will explore the theme of professions and jobs, focusing on how to ask and answer questions about what people do for a living. This is an essential part of everyday communication, allowing us to learn more about others' careers and roles in society.
Objectives:
- Students will be able to ask and answer questions using the present simple tense with the auxiliary verb "do."
- Students will expand their vocabulary related to different professions.
- Students will practice conversational skills by engaging in role-play activities.
Warm-Up Activity:
Begin with a quick icebreaker game where students introduce themselves and mention one thing they like to do in their free time. Encourage them to use full sentences, such as "I like playing basketball."
Presentation:
Introduce new vocabulary related to professions (e.g., doctor, teacher, engineer). Use flashcards or pictures to help students visualize each job. Then, demonstrate how to form questions and answers using the third person singular form of verbs (e.g., "What does she do? She is a nurse.").
Practice:
Divide students into pairs and provide them with a worksheet containing various occupations. Have them take turns asking each other questions about the listed jobs and providing appropriate responses. For example:
A: What does a firefighter do?
B: A firefighter puts out fires and helps people in emergencies.
Application:
Conduct a role-playing activity where students pretend to be reporters interviewing someone about their job. Provide prompts like "Where do you work?" and "How long have you been doing this job?"
Assessment:
To check understanding, distribute a short quiz at the end of the class. Include fill-in-the-blank exercises, matching activities, and multiple-choice questions based on the lesson content.
Conclusion:
Review key points from the lesson and encourage students to continue practicing these grammar structures outside the classroom. Assign homework that requires students to write a short paragraph describing their dream job.
By following this structured approach, students will gain confidence in discussing professional topics while reinforcing their grasp of English grammar and vocabulary.
