Procedure (33-51 minutes)
I show ss 4 pics and have them tell me what jobs they are. Then, they practice saying the words.
I tell ss that we are going to read sth abot Rob's jobs. They should guess which jobs were his best, worst and first job.
I tell ss that we're going to read sth about Rob. "Rob is a journalist. Do you think the money is good? Is it a lot of work? Do you think he likes his job now? I give you each a text. Read it fast and answer these 3 questions. You have 2 minutes." (3 mins) Then I want ss to check their answers with their partners. After 3 minutes, I will put the answers on the screen for ss to check their work. Next, I put ss into 4 different groups, giving each group a set of sentences to put in order. (7 mins) ss can check their work by looking at the board.
I get ss to underline all the adjectives in the text, and get a WC feedback. I show them the list of adjectives on the board and get them to match the words which are antonyms. (2 mins) We work on the pronunciations. (5 mins)
I get ss to talk about Robin's job using the vocab in the previous stage. ss stand up and find another student in class to talk about Rob's jobs.
I give out the copies of jobs and have ss talk about each one in their groups using the adjectives.
