Activities Brainstorm questions students have about jobs in the community.
Set priorities and choose the questions that will be most useful in obtaining the information that they want. Use these questions to create a chart for recording data. Practice asking questions on a sibling or parent and then use the questions to survey community workers and record the finding on the chart.
