"Working." Student Activity Sheets for Selected Interviews Contained in "Working" by Studs Terkel.
Eakin, David; And Others
These student activity sheets are intended to accompany a vocational English program based on Studs Terkel's book, "Working," a collection of more than 100 interviews with people about their jobs. The 30 interviews selected for inclusion in the curriculum either illustrate occupations taught in the schools or deal with occupations related to those for which students train or which they can attain. The objective of the program is to help the student get a much clearer picture of the world of work. In addition, it proves a student's English course can make a real contribution to career education and enhance the vocational competence of students in vocational programs. Each of the 30 worksheets contains true or false statements and questions for discussion; some also include projects. These may be completed in or out of class, written or orally, by individuals or groups. (YLB)
