Procedures/Activities


Step:  1 Duration: 5 min.
Discuss with the group that a producer is someone who makes something, that is, a worker. Being a producer is one role a person may have. Write this on the board and ask when this might be true: “A person is what a person does.”

Step:  2 Duration: 5 min.
Help students understand roles by saying that an activity is what a person does. A role is what the person becomes while doing the activity. Therefore, when a producer is doing another activity, he or she then takes on another role. For example: If a person is cooking, that person is a cook. If a person is painting, that person is a painter.

Step:  3 Duration: 15 min.
Distribute the handout and have students complete them. Help them think of their roles, for example, in leisure-time role, they may be a soccer player or a swimmer.
