**Grade: Primary 6**
**Subject: English Grammar**
**Lesson Title: People and Their Professions**
**Duration: 60 minutes**
**Objective:**
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
1. Identify and match various professions with the correct job descriptions.
2. Use the present simple tense to describe what people do in their jobs.
3. Form sentences to introduce and describe professions using proper grammar.
**Materials:**
- Flashcards with images of different professions.
- Job description handouts.
- Whiteboard and markers.
- Worksheets with fill-in-the-blank and matching exercises.
- Crayons or colored pencils (for a creative activity).
- Audio clips of people talking about their jobs (optional but effective for auditory learners).
**Lesson Procedure:**
**Introduction (10 minutes):**
1. Begin the lesson with a brief discussion about what professions are and why they are important.
2. Show pictures of a few common professions (e.g., teacher, doctor, firefighter) and ask students to name them.
3. Write the names of these professions on the board.
**Activity 1: Matching Professions with Descriptions (15 minutes):**
1. Hand out flashcards with images and names of professions to the students.
2. Distribute job description handouts that correspond to the professions on the flashcards.
3. Have students walk around the classroom to find their match—each student must find the job description that matches their profession card.
4. Once everyone has found their match, each pair will read their profession and job description aloud to the class.
**Activity 2: Present Simple Tense Review (10 minutes):**
1. Write a few example sentences on the board using the present simple tense to describe professions (e.g., "A teacher teaches students.").
2. Review the formation of the present simple tense and when it is used.
3. Have students come up with their own sentences using the professions they discussed earlier.
**Activity 3: Sentence Construction (15 minutes):**
1. Provide students with a worksheet that has fill-in-the-blank sentences related to professions and activities they perform (e.g., "A doctor ________ patients").
2. Students will fill in the blanks with the correct verbs in present simple tense.
3. Review the answers as a class, correcting any mistakes and providing explanations as needed.
**Creative Activity: ‘Draw and Describe' (10 minutes):**
1. Give students a blank sheet of paper and colored pencils or crayons.
2. Ask them to draw a picture of a person in a profession they are interested in and write a few sentences underneath describing what that person does using the present simple tense.
3. Have a few students share their drawings and descriptions with the class.
**Conclusion and Homework (5 minutes):**
1. Summarize the lesson by asking students to name some of the professions they learned and a few key facts about what people in those professions do.
2. Assign homework: Write a short paragraph (4-5 sentences) about a profession that interests them, using the present simple tense to describe the duties associated with that job.
3. Remind students to bring their homework to the next class.
**Assessment:**
- Participation in class activities and discussions.
- Accuracy of matching professions with job descriptions.
- Completion and correctness of worksheet exercises.
- Quality and creativity of the ‘Draw and Describe’ activity.
- Homework paragraph on a chosen profession.
**Differentiation:**
- For students who need extra support, provide additional examples of sentences and assist them during the activities.
- For advanced students, challenge them to write more complex sentences or short dialogues involving multiple professions.
**Closure:**
Reiterate the importance of good grammar when describing professions and encourage students to keep an eye out for different professions in their everyday life. Thank the students for their hard work and participation.
