Write the alphabet letters on pieces of paper and put them on the board. Any time students guess a correct letter, pick it and use it in the word. Give clear instructions: say one letter at a time. and agree on it before you say it to the teacher. After they find the word, teacher explains that we are going to talk about jobs.
Put the students in groups of four and put one more set of alphabet letters on the board. Tell students that they are going to think of a job that starts with one of the letters, come to the board and take the letter, write the job title on it and keep it. give them 2 minutes and then get WC feedback.
