How to start
•
Help the students to remember jobs in the primary and
secondary sectors. Ask them to stand up if the job is from
the primary sector and to sit down if it is from the secondary
sector. Say, for example,
fisherman
(the students stand up),
factory worker (the students sit down),
carpenter
(stay
seated),
farmer
(stand up).
•
Ask the students to name some products we use on a daily
basis that are obtained from natural resources.
•
Remind students that the primary sector extracts resources
and the secondary sector manufactures natural resources
to make products.
•
Explain what services are and brainstorm jobs that provide
a service. Put the children into pairs to role play service jobs,
for example, student-teacher; waiter-customer; hairdresser
– client; bus driver – passenger; doctor – patient. Invite
volunteers out to act out for the rest of the class to guess.
✔
Teaching tip
•
Using dramatisation can make learning more meaningful
and memorable for young learners.
