Description

In this lesson, students practice reading skills, both for gist and detail, in the context of future jobs. The lesson starts with a discussion about ideal jobs. This is followed by reading for gist with prediction questions using a text about future jobs. Then students will read for detail using questions via Google Forms. Finally, there will be a discussion reflecting on the text, using both pair work and open class feedback, with teacher feedback and delayed error correction also being provided.

Main Aims

To provide gist and detailed practice in the context of future jobs.

Subsidiary Aims

To provide clarification in the context of future jobs.

Procedure (39-45 minutes)

Warmer/Lead-in (4-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

I will ask my students to discuss the following three questions. 1. What would be your ideal job? 2. Do you know someone who has a great job? 3. Who/what do they do? I will ask students to discuss these questions in a whole class context.

Pre-Reading/Listening (5-6 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

I will present the students 3 challenging words from the text and cover the meaning, form and pronunciation of the words. MEANING 1. Experts are PREDICTING big changes. (CCQ - Do the experts think there will be big changes? Answer: Yes) 2. (job vs) Career (CCQ - is a career a short-term goal? Answer: No) 3. A carer FORM I will elicit form from the students. PRONUNCIATION 1. I will model words, indicating stress. 2. I will ask students to identify numbers of syllables and stress. (especially with career vs carer) 3. I will ask my students to repeat the words using choral and individual drilling.

While-Reading/Listening #1 (6-7 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

I will ask students to read the text quickly (3 minutes) and answer the following questions: 1. Which jobs might disappear in the future? 2. Which jobs will there be more of in the future? This will be individual work followed by open class feedback.

While-Reading/Listening #2 (12-14 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

I will ask students to re-read the text carefully (for 5 minutes) and answer the detail questions on Google Forms - link below: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdZAFPU78q8AnDVOTrSX2Dm8nweJw3eOpKl4cqqbGtBHc7Uog/viewform?usp=sf_link This task will be done individually. Then I will put the students in breakout rooms for 5 minutes so they can discuss their answers in pairs. This will be followed by OCFB. I will ask students to justify their answers.

Post-Reading/Listening (12-13 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

I will ask students to discuss these questions in breakout rooms in pairs to reflect on this topic: Do you think these things will happen in your lifetime? Why or why not? - 3D printers will make parts of buildings or whole buildings. - People won’t print photos anymore. - There won’t be many shops. - There won’t be any huge offices. People will generally work at home. - Companies will pay the bosses less and other staff more. - A normal working week will have four days, not five. I will then conduct OCFB on the task and provide delayed error correction on some errors I heard whilst listening to them speak to each other in the BORs.
