This assignment is for Grade 3-5 with an intermediate proficiency level.

Students will learn and practice the future tense by writing about their dream job.

For this assignment, students will be able to use "want to be", "will do", and "be going to be/be" to express what they will do in the future.

To differentiate, teachers can assign more or fewer sentences, or encourage students to write questions instead of statements in the future tense.
