In the second part of the activity the pupils will work in groups and every group will choose four professions / occupations, from those discovered in the word square. The pupils in each group will reflect on reasons why people choose those professions / occupations. (The pupils will write down these reasons and they also can represent it in drawings). One group of pupils will choose another group to talk about the selected professions / occupations and the reasons why people make these choices. The teacher will write down a synthesis of the reasons the pupils have mentioned and will complete with necessary information. These information refers to the benefits of a profession / occupation:
– self benefits: money, employment perspectives, desired lifestyle, social prestige, working environment, flexible working hours
– society benefits: environment protection, protecting human rights, saving human lives, community or global problem solving etc. In order to offer support in understanding the benefits of a profession / occupation, if the pupils did not identify these by themselves in groups, the teacher can use examples as follows: Ana works in an organization that deals with dolphin rescue. She is proud that she can contribute in protecting this specie.
At the end of the activity the pupils will complete a work sheet. The pupils will take the worksheet at home and they will discuss with their parents about the benefits of identified professions / occupations. They will fill the sheet including parents opinion about these benefits.
