Description

Next week is “Parent Teaching Week.” A number of parents will come and talk about their jobs in class. You would like to prepare your students about the names of professions and the workplaces before the parents’ visit, and review them after. You are going to prepare a list of the names of professions and workplaces to help students learn, and create a bingo game for a review.

Task

You are to make a list of the names of profession and workplaces as a handout. You will include at least 25 different professions and workplaces of those professionals. You will teach students with the list (handout), and in the following week, create a bingo game using the list. Create rules for the game in Spanish and explain it to the students.

Resources

A. Vocabulary on professions
