Activity Description:

Paws in Jobland isn’t just about “everyday” jobs! Students should explore a wide variety of jobs and use their imagination to give consideration to what they might do when they get older.

Lesson Guidelines:

• Ask the students if they have ever thought of what job they would do if they could do anything. Encourage them to let their imaginations run wild! Jobs can be ones that already exist, or they could be fantasy - made-up jobs that relate to something the students enjoy doing.

• Pass out photocopies of Grade 2 Worksheet 6 and ask students to write down a job and a description of what it entails. Have them draw a picture of themselves doing their dream job.

• Have the class discuss all the jobs that come up! For jobs related to professional sports or pop music there are few opportunities and lots of competition, but students should still be encouraged to follow interests in sports or music.

Activity Enhancements:

• Show videos or documentaries of well-known people doing their work.

• Encourage students to write a letter of application for their dream job.

Whatever you choose, make sure it’s a job you would really like to do!
