Time	PROCEDURE (T: teacher; SS: students; O: other)	METHOD
15’	Balloon Questions Start the activity by explaining what you mean by the questions written on the board. “Who?” the question is: I will tell you the name of a profession and then I will ask you to answer what features can make this profession. “Where?” when I asked I will ask you to think about the positions and places where this profession can be performed and to respond accordingly. “With whom?” when I asked I would like you to tell me which professions the mentioned profession should work as a team. “Why?” when I asked I would like you to think and express for what purposes a person who chooses this profession can do this profession. Then, the teacher provides reinforcement of the answers to the questions by exemplifying them through a profession. It is ensured that each student gets one of the balloons according to the number of students (inflated by the students). The teacher gives the following instruction when the students take positions: “When you hear about the profession, the activity starts, you will ask each other questions about the profession I said in turn, and the other person will answer here. While doing this mutually, I want you not to drop the balloons, focus on the question posed to you, and give simultaneous answers.”	Brainstorming, game
