Procedures/Activities


Step:  1 Duration: 15 min.
Begin class period with a discussion of some activities found in their world (e.g., teacher, doctor, waitress). After students have verbalized activities, ask the names of the people they know who do the activities they mentioned. Tell the students to think carefully about the people and their activities. Ask, “Is there anything that people doing an activity have in common?” For an example, remind them about teaching and the people they identified as teachers. Ask them if they noticed that most teachers are women. Another example would be that football players are usually big. Let the children then tell any other characteristics they noticed about people and their activities.

Step:  2 Duration: 15 min.
After children have given other examples, get the children into small groups. Distribute the matching occupation game to each group and let them match up the people to their object.
