Activity 1: Warm-up · 10 minutes
Who helps our community?
a) Aims
Ss activate prior knowledge about community helpers and understand the project task.
b) Content
T shows photos (without names) of a nurse, an artisan and a village craftsperson, then asks: “Who are these people? What do they do for our community?” Ss brainstorm in pairs. T then presents the project brief: create a community-helper profile of 90–110 words and present it for two minutes.
c) Expected outcomes
A board list of at least four community helpers and their tasks, for example: nurse – gives first aid at school; artisan – shapes a bowl by hand; craftsperson – makes handicrafts from bamboo. Ss can restate the task: a 90–110-word profile, a two-minute talk and one safe action for classmates.
