Procedures/Activities
Step:
1 Duration: 15 min.
Have students discuss how their lives would change without
local food stores, police, truck drivers, etc. Try to use jobs that the parents
of students have. Then ask: “If we did not have truck drivers, would this put
other people out of work? Can you name any jobs that are not needed? Why?” Have
students draw pictures of some jobs they depend on others to do.
Step: 2 Duration: 20 min.
Divide the class into groups and assign them different letters
of the alphabet, for example, group one would get letters A through G, group two
would get letters H through O. Using resource materials, have students find an
occupational title for each letter of the alphabet. Groups may collaborate for
more difficult letters. Once all groups have completed their lists, combine the
lists and let students discuss how each of these occupations helps contribute to
their needs.
