Titulohe primary sector
How to start
•
Explain that people with jobs in the primary sector get or
process natural resources. Elicit answers from the class
about what natural resources might be (animals, plants,
minerals).
•
Ask the students to brainstorm different natural resources
from plants, animals and minerals. Ask them to think
of people who work with these resources (for example,
farmers, fishermen, miners …).
•
Ask the students to think about what they had for breakfast
and which items came from natural sources. Ask them to
think about materials we use for clothes and boots (rubber,
cotton, wool, leather…) pointing out that these things also
come from natural resources.

(in the sea, in
lakes, in rivers);
Can we have farms in cities? What animals
do we find on farms?
