Procedure

I. Introduction1) Organization of the class moments (to greet pupils, to control the presence of pupils at the lesson, to organize pupils for learning activities.)

- Good morning, boys and girls! Glad to meet you! How are you today? I hope that you are doing well and are ready to work. First, tell me, please, who is on duty today? Who is absent? What is the matter with them?

- Good. So we are ready to start our lesson. It will be a practical one. We are going to talk about different jobs and professions, and, of course, about your profession you have already chosen.  

2) Actualization of pupils’ knowledge.

- At the previous lessons we’re discussing about professions and career prospects. And your home assignment was differentiated. Some of you had to find the correct pieces and put them together to form job related words. And the others had to match jobs with their definitions. Let’s check up them.

(Appendix 1, 2)

3) Announcement of the theme, purposes of lesson, motivation of cognitive activity.

- And now I want to acquaint you with the theme of our lesson. First, write down today’s date. We are going to continue speaking about the world of professions. You study at the vocational school and I hope you will be good specialists, so you have to know much about your professional sphere. That’s why we’ll train in speaking, writing, reading and listening different sources connected with your future job. So, the theme is “The World of Profession”. And the epigraph to our lesson is “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life” (Confucius). Copy it into your copy-books.
