Tomorrow I'm starting my teaching practices at Secondary School. The unit of work we will be dealing with is about occupations. Their final task is to produce a leaflet to order to advertise a particular course or profession. This task is related to the concerns students in the fifth course have, as most of them are undergoing the process of choosing what they want to do next year.
As part of the requierements, the teacher asked me to use the set of notes they already have. So I decided to work with an article: The price of fame
While working and analysing the article, I prepared some Tasks in which they have to brainstorm occupations they know and they reasons why somebody may choose to study or work as a particular profession. In addition, they will do a pre-reading task with the wordle, predicting which paragraphs and photo is connected with the word cloud they have below. Later on, they will read the article and check their predictions.
In my next post, I will be able to say whether this kind of task was appropriate and motivating for these students. Fingers crossed!
