Let's watch a video
Activity 1
research TIME
Use online resources to research and identify some specific types of work that are currently done by robots (e.g. car assembly on automated production lines) and discover where robots are being used to do this work around the world.
Using the links on the world map, watch videos of how robots are being used in different countries around the world.
Activity 1
Let's going to check our guesses using this website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-34066941
Let's discuss
Discuss what jobs are most likely to be taken over by robots. Make guesses about the likelihood that specific jobs will be done by robots in future, and check your guesses .
Activity

- How good were your guesses?
- Were there any surprises? Why?
- Why is it more difficult for robots to do some jobs than people?
Class discussion
Discuss what makes certain types of job more suitable for robots to do, and not so suitable for people. As a class, compile a list of the situations in which it might be better to use robots instead of people, such as when there is a need to repeat the same action over and over again, use a lot of physical strength or force, read vast amounts of information, work with great precision and at high speed, work in dangerous situations or confined spaces.
ACTIVITY 3
What will happen to people if robots take over their jobs?

In groups,prepare a radio broadcast or podcast about the future of a factory in their locality where the owner wants to replace the workers with robots (this could be entirely fictional, or reflect real developments in the locality). A fictional newspaper article is provided.
aCTIVITY
1
Choose from a number of possible roles to play in the broadcast: news reporter(s), factory owner, worker(s), members of a worker’s family, robot designer, etc. Divide tasks fairly so that together they plan a broadcast in which both sides of the argument (for and against the introduction of robots) are presented, e.g. by conducting interviews between the reporter(s) and the other characters. If possible, record the broadcast.

ACTIVITY 3
If robots do all the work, what will people do?
What are the benefits of work?
Discuss what you think are the advantages of having a job, apart from being paid to do it. Advantages could include things such as:
- Having social contact with others.
- The chance to do something that you find rewarding or satisfying.
- The opportunity to acquire new skills and experiences.
- To better yourself.
PREPARING A survey
- Prepare a set of questions about the benefits of work to ask a trusted person in your immediate environment (e.g. members of their family). You should prepare between three and six questions. If possible, you arrange an interview with the person, and record the responses to the questions.
- Learners use quotes from your interviews (and/or other sources) about the positive aspects of having a job, and add images to illustrate the quotes, which they create themselves or collect from sources such as the internet, to produce a display on the theme of work.
