Teachers: If you have more time, here is a suggestion for extending the lesson. Activity: 20 questions (partner activity)

This activity requires partners. Students pick a job without telling their partner and use a sentence stem to write a topic sentence about the job.

For example: My job is to…. teach kids at a school. My job is to… cut hair at a barber shop.

Students will then take turns asking each other yes or no questions about what their partner’s job could be.

For example: Does your job use special tools? Do you work in an office?

Each student is allowed to ask 20 questions and will then need to guess what their partner’s job could be. This activity can be repeated with each partner picking a different job and writing a new topic sentence. Using scratch paper or writing paper is advised for writing topic sentences and keeping track of question tallies.
