Start by writing some admirable professions on the board. Some examples you can use are teachers, doctors,
sports players, CEOs, volunteers, firefighters, scientists, police officers, movie stars, and homemakers. Feel free
to useothers that may be more culturally significant for your students.
Going through the list, ask your class to brainstorm words that describe each profession. Write the words on the
board. They may be positive or negative. Assist them with appropriate vocabulary.
Once you have a few adjectives for each profession, ask students which job they admire most. You may have to
explain the word "admire." Some possible definitions are "you think they are really great," "you respect them" or
"you think their work is really amazing."
