OCCUPATIONS OF PEOPLE IN MY COMMUNITY
Develop a description of occupations from people in my
community
My Professional Genealogy
Learning situation carried out within the framework of
Academic and career guidance content
2
Why address this subject?
This project will allow to have a better understanding about occupations, trades and
professions that are practised by people within your community(we use the word
‘occupation’ because it is a more general term that remove includes volunteering, working
at home and working for yourself). This project allows you to get an idea about the world
of work. You will see in your school career that self-knowledge, knowledge of the world
of school and of the world of work are important aspects that help to prepare your
orientation. This learning situation will allow you to reflect upon the world of work.
My Professional Genealogy: What does that mean?
Your professional genealogy is simply a collection of information of your family members’
occupations; your mom and dad, your grandparents, your aunts and uncles, an important
person, etc. You will need help from them in order to do your research.
Researching your professional genealogy will allow you to discover the work of the people
around you, and discover the history of occupations of people in your family, and help you
realize which occupations interest you.
3
At the end of this learning situation, you will learn
remove occupations of five different people around
you and you will be able to develop a description of
one of the occupations that you will orally present for
your peers.
‘Developing’ means that you will have to use the
information that you learned during your interview to
transform and make your information understandable
so that all of the other students in your class can,
because of your oral presentation, learn about different occupations that exist in your
community.
To prepare for your interview with the person of your choice, you will prepare a
questionnaire with the help of your peers. To help you create your own interview questions,
you will be provided with sample questions.
In your oral presentation, you will name the five occupations of the people you interviewed.
You will then select one of the five occupations for your detailed oral presentation. Within
your detailed presentation, you will need to take into account specific criteria. You may
can use many different tools to make it interesting: PowerPoint, Prezi, objects, songs, role-
play, television journalist-style interviews, etc).
While your classmates are presenting, you will need to listen attentively in order to give
them your written feedback.

Finally, this learning situation allows you to learn in
English, oral communication (the criteria is specified by
your teacher) and orientation.

Preparatory Steps for this Project
1. Show your parents the letter addressed to them. This letter explains how they can help
you to investigate (they will also have received it from your teacher by email).
2. Fill in, with your parents’ help, the table called ‘Family Occupations’ on page 6. Choose
5 people or more from your family or community, and complete the form using their names.
Refer to the legend to determine what information you need to research in order to help
you choose an occupation that interests you the most and that you will present in your oral
presentation.

3. Among all of the people you talk to, you have to choose one person that you would like
to question more thoroughly about their occupation. Suggestion: You could choose
someone you get along with the best or someone who has an occupation that interests you
and piques your curiosity. It is up to you to determine how you make your choice.
4. After the interview, you will prepare your oral presentation using the information that
you have learned, and you will present it to the other students in your class. You can use
‘Repères Internet’ to find more information about your chosen occupation.
In the next few days, your teacher will give you more details so you can develop your
presentation. Your teacher will provide you with guidance in order to help you prepare
your interview questionnaires.

For each occupation that appears on the forms, you can ask: “what can I learn about the
world of work?” I also invite you to think about your personal interests while doing this
project. Would you like to do this job one day? Why? We will discuss this further toward
the end of the project.
