1. How can you EARN money? You must have a JOB !

2. What JOBS do you know?

3. (note to the teacher) Here I introduce some TPR actions for each of the professions. This works for my fourth graders and non- advanced fifth but sixth graders are too cool for TPR. For doctor you pound your heart, for astronaut you fly, for cook you stir-fry, for President you salute and look important and mock-shake people’s hands. ETC I say random jobs and they do the TPR. Then I do the TPR and they say the name of the jobs. And mix it up. You can TPR the job descriptions later too (boring, fun, etc) For older kids hopefully their language level is higher so you can replace this with getting more substantial responses to questions. Other than ‘I like hamburgers’ for example Pictionary works well, esp. at the end to extend it if necessary. 20 Questions would probably be good. I don’t make them do anything for Takin’ Care of Business, just let them jam out on air guitars in the last two minutes of class

22. Takin’ Care of Business You get up every morning From your alarm clock's warning Take the 8:15 into the city There's a whistle up above And people pushin', people shovin' And the girls who try to look pretty And if your train's on time You can get to work by nine And start your slaving job to get your pay If you ever get annoyed Look at me I'm self-employed I love to work at nothing all day
