Procedure (45-57 minutes)
I'll start by asking the students how many are working during the pandemic, and tell them I've been looking for a job. I'll have them read two job announcements that I found (1. Activity 1: Job Announcements), and tell them that I think they should apply. We'll then complete 1. Activity 2: Matching Definitions to clarify possible language students may not know.
I'll tell students that they will be tasked with answering supplemental questions for the two job applications in pairs/groups. I'll have students read the example I wrote (2. Activity 3: Examples) for a model of the task and then will highlight some of the useful language in Google Slides
In their pairs/groups, students will discuss and write their answers to the supplemental questions (3. Task 1: Supplemental Questions) for the job announcements.
Students will pick amongst their pairs/groups, which job they want to apply for and prepare to present orally to the class.
Pairs/groups of students will present orally to the class which job they're going to apply for and read their supplemental question answers (3. Task 1) to the class. I'll make the text available to students to read on the screen as the students are presenting.
I'll provide a Google Slides presentation to cover the MFPA of the task language with students, eliciting their understanding of the language.
I'll give students 7. Task 2: Practice to complete in Google Forms.
After completing 7. Task 2 the students and I will go over the answers to the exercise and do additional analysis on any language points they might still be struggling with.
