Teacher greets students and says : “ Now you are  pupils of the 11th form

And you have to make one of the most important decisions in your life-

The choice of your future career

Ask your partner if he/she has made up his mind what career to choose in future(pairwork)

Tell the class about your partner’s choice

“Secret card game” Every S gets a card with a name of a job and  has to come up with a definition and say it to the classmates without giving the name of this job . Students guess the word

 

Categorizing : Put 3 headings on the board : Feminine , Masculine , Both . Ask Ss to put the cards with the name of the job under the appropriate heading

Ask Students why they think these jobs are masculine or feminine.

 

Students give their answers

Show some pictures of women doing masculine job: Why have they chosen these jobs ?

 

Guessing task: ask students to match the words to their definitions :

Individually

Pair comparison

Open class feedback

Student A reads a definition – Student B has to guess the word

Ss change over: Student B says a word –Student A gives the definition

Ss make 1-2 sentences with new words read them out to their peers but instead of the new word/ expression  they say “ blah”. Ss guess the word.

 

 

 

Set the task : This is a text about an unusual woman . But this text has no title. There are 3 titles . Read the text quickly and choose the best title. Set the time limit . Ask ICQs ( Do you have to read every word ?)

Set the task:   A recent survey by the University of New South Wales in Australia found that students are more likely to select a career similar to their father or mother’s occupation.  Are there Students in your group who have decided to follow in their parents’ footsteps?

 

Still there is a question : “ Should we follow  in our parents’ footsteps or should we make our own career choice ?”

We have 2 teams :Awesome and Brilliant

Awesome prepare the arguments in favour of the statement :  we should follow  in our parents’ footsteps . Brilliant  prepare  the arguments in favour of   we  should make our own career choice
