Procedure (26-39 minutes)
T introduces the context of strange jobs using examples. T uses pics to elicit from sts/provide the strange job examples: astronaut, model, pet food taster, restaurant critic, dolphin trainer And puts on WB T demonstrates speaking practice by asking a few sts "Would you like to be a dolphin trainer? Why?" (incorporating questions from previous days lesson: salary, holidays, etc). Sts practice asking and answering these questions with their partners (1min)
T refocuses sts on WC and demonstrates activity by asking St (1or2) the model sentence Qs: Would you like to be an astronaut? Would you like to be a pet food taster? T elicits answers and writes model answer on board: I would like to be an astronaut because they have to do interesting things. I would hate to be a pet food taster because they have to eat dog food. T uses "chesting" to demonstrate where to write answers on HO T hands out "Find someone who" and gestures to sts to stand up & mingle Sts do activity (5-6 min?) T elicits examples from students "Can you tell me about one of yours?" (2 or 3 sts share)
T prefaces activity with background about listening: 3 jobs, radio interview.. T "chests" to demonstrate which words will be matched with which pictures on the HO T hands out pre-listening, picture HO and related words. Sts work in pairs to match words with correct pic. T checks answers through eliciting.
T plays listening for the first time (2.5min) Sts put pics in order based on listening (PW) T elicits correct order from class T hands out T/F HO. Sts work in pairs to remember listening and predict answers to Qs. T plays listening a second time (2.5min) Sts listen for correct answers to T/F HO and check their answers in pairs post-listening. T checks answers and elicits correct forms of False sentences. T asks "Which job do you think is the most unusual? Why?" Sts discuss in pairs. T elicits one/two answers to be shared with WC
After listening once, T hands out T/F HO. Sts work in pairs to remember listening and predict answers to Qs. T plays listening a second time. Sts listen for correct answers to T/F HO and check their answers in pairs post-listening. T checks answers and elicits correct forms of False sentences. T asks "Which job do you think is the most unusual? Why?" Sts discuss in pairs. T elicits one/two answers to be shared with WC
T elicits verbs from sentences in T/F activity T writes verbs on board and demonstrates changing the form to noun. T "chests" HO to demonstrate how to fill in chart T hands out HO Sts work in pairs to complete chart (3min?) T elicits answers and does error-corrective FB T summarizes possible ending for noun forms: -or, -ant, -er, -ist, -ian
