Divide into groups of four or five learners for this activity. Identify five persons who are engaged in different careers. These must not involve parents and teachers only. Ask a neighbour about the kind of work he or she does, find out what type of work your mother's friend does, etc. Try to move away from the immediate family circle.
What kind of activities do the careers you have identified involve. Assemble the information as follows:
| Type of Career | What does one do in this career? |
| 1.…………………………………………. | ………………………………………………………. |
| 2. | |
| 3. | |
| 4. | |
| 5. |
Be imaginative in using cuttings from magazines and newspapers to assemble a collage representing people in these careers, with the kinds of tasks they perform.
During the next period, you will present an oral report to your group to share the information you have gained. The collages will be used for demonstrating your report and will then be evaluated by your educator and used to decorate your classroom.
