= = = Working world: The jobs people do and in particular, farming = = =

Introduction
This half term we are looking at the Working World. First of all we will look at ways of grouping the jobs people do. The next section will look at farming. First of all - how what farmers produce is influenced by the place they work in, the kind of soil and the weather. Then we will look at different kinds of farming in other parts of the world and in partiuclar some of the difficulties farmers have in parts of Africa. We will then look at ways of making sure people can make a living from farming without destroying the environment, called sustainable farming.

**Lesson 1: Sorting out Jobs** **PowerPoint:** **Class Notes:** **Homework:**Instead of a regular homework you will be receiving and email from a site that asks you to log in to it. **VERY IMPORTANT**: copy and paste your name and password from the email into the website - it is very picky, so **DO NOT** try and type it yourself - it is sure to tell you, you have it wrong. Make sure it saves it to your computer. That way you will not need to go through the process ever again!

There you will find your homework waiting for you. This time it will be a filling in the gap exercise - the words are at the top of the page - copy and paste the correct one into each gap and then when you have finished, click to mark it and you will see how much you got right. If there are any corrections to be made, they will tell you and when you have it all correct, then you will get a mark which I can locate on the the website. Upload a word doc to the school website with your mark on it (remember I will be checking!). PS If you make a bit of a mess, there is nothing to stop you having another go later - I will only count the best mark! **Extras:** media type="custom" key="8535976"
