Preparation: Click here to download the Talking point activity.
Make one copy of Talking point 5 for every 20 students. Cut into cards.

  1. Have students form groups of 10. Give each student one card, making sure all students in the group have cards from the same set (Set 1 or Set 2).
  2. Explain the activity. Students will stand and form a circle by asking their classmates questions to find out the occupation listed on their cards. Students may not ask a classmate’s occupation directly; they should ask for information that will help them guess the job. For example:
    Are you a flight attendant? = Not OK
    Do you travel a lot? = OK
  3. When students think they have correctly formed their circle, have them go around the circle and say the occupations on their cards aloud.
