About this word search
Many job titles here explain themselves: a Baker bakes, a Gardener gardens, a Driver drives. Others need a little more. Carpenter goes back to a Latin word for a maker of carts and carriages, and Plumber comes from plumbum, Latin for lead, because pipes were once made of it.
Diagonals are part of the search, but no word is reversed. Mail carrier is written as one long word, and Firefighter has two Fs, so double-check every letter as you go.
Once the grid is done, ask students which of these jobs they have seen in their own neighborhood this week, and who they would like to interview.
