Student Sample: Stage B1 Progressing Towards Video 1  

Okay children, we looked at this book this morning, now we’re going to look at it this afternoon and you’re going to try to do some reading from it, okay?  What’s the title of this book please?  Have a look.  What’s the title?

Ali?

“My Job.”

It does say ‘My Job’:  well done Ali, yeah.  

“What’s My Job?”

Oh.

“What’s My Job?”  No, what you said was fine Ali, but the whole title is “What’s My Job?”  And the author’s name is down the bottom, and the author’s name is Wendy Blaxland.  So she wrote the story and the story is going to be about this:  What’s My Job?  Okay, now you two boys have to share, share.  Shah, you have this one yourself.  Did I hear ‘thank you’?  

[together] Oh, thank you Miss.

Oh, I should think so.  Okay, don’t forget to let [0:01:10.4] look on too please, alright?  Alright, let’s turn into the first page.  Have a look at this Shah, this one here.  Shah?  This one.  What can you see in the picture?  What do you think this man up the top is with his white hat and his white coat on?  And you should know Tom.

Cook.

A cook or a…?

Baker.

…a baker.  And what about this lady in here please?  Alireza?

A dancer.

A dancer.  Oh, what about this person down the bottom?  Have a look at him.  Let this girl look please, both look.  This one here.

He works under the ground.  Can you remember what we called him?  It stated with an ‘M’, mmm.

Mmm…

Mine…

Mine.

Men.

Oh, nearly right.

Nearly right, he’s a miner:  everyone say it.

[together] Miner.

Miner.

I’m, oh yeah, I’m, I’m a fireman.

Farmer.

I’m a farmer.

See the farmer up here Ali, with his sheep?

Can I read that?

Yes, that’s yours.  Hold the book.

I…

J, j.

I jump…

Jog.

…jog and wor-…

Work.

…work.  We are play…

What’s this thing here?

Hm?

What’s in the picture?  With a…?

Ball.

What’s my job?

Thank you.  What job would you like?  Now I really want you to think about that because this book has told us about many jobs, but when you grow to be a man or a lady what would you like to do?  Now I’m going to ask you, Ali?  I know what you’re going to say, but what is it?

Soccer player.

I thought so:  you’d like to be a sports person.  Right, now that book was all about the different people in our community and the jobs that they do, and here I’ve got some names of some of the people and we’re going to try and read both parts of the sentences so that we can match them up so that we can put them together and it makes sense, alright?  Oh, you want to have a try?  

Okay, you can Ali, go.

Ba-…

Bakes.

Bake ba, bake, ba

What do we bake?

Bake…

In the oven?

Bakes…

And you eat it for lunch.

Mm.

It’s round and it’s flat.  B, b, b…

B…

Bread.

Bread, and cakes.

That’s right, well done.  So the last one, and now you’ve got to try and read the whole thing without Mrs Richmond helping you.

A bread…

Baker.

…a baker.  Baker…

Bakes.

Bake bread, bakes bread and…

Cake.

…cakes.

Okay, Van I think Ali could hear you a little bit because you were trying to read it too, but that’s okay, alright?
