Procedure

WARM-UP

-   To activate Ss’ knowledge on the topic of the unit.

-   To create a lively atmosphere in the classroom.

- To lead into the new unit.

GAME: CHARADES

* T divides Ss into 2 large groups. Every round a representative from each team goes to the board, facing the class. After T shows a word describing a job, the rest of the class uses their gestures to hint at that word without saying it out loud. The team whose representative guesses the word faster wins one point.

** Ss do as instructed.

*** Ss discuss and share other words/ phrases about jobs that they know, then take turns to write the words/ phrases on the board.

**** T checks and corrects if Ss spell or pronounce the words/ phrases incorrectly.

- T leads in the lesson: Which jobs are usually done by men or women? Although there are traditionally male and female jobs, do you think all jobs can be performed by both men and women? In this lesson we will find out how young people these days discuss gender equality in choosing their jobs.

PRESENTATION
