4 . A knocker-upper – first half of the 20th century 12 Mary Smith travelled through pre-dawn streets armed with a peashooter and a pocket watch , waking her clients up at whatever hour they had requested by plinking dried peas at their bedroom windows .
After choice findings were shared with the whole class , I steered my students towards an Instagram post 13 about Mary Smith , the famous knocker-upper , asked them to google her and invited some of them to share the weirdest pieces of information they found out about her .
What Does the Future Hold ? As in the original learning scenario , discussion followed . Working in groups , students made predictions about future jobs . There were five groups : Fun Jobs ; Green Jobs ; Work-Pay Balanced Jobs ; Science-fiction Jobs ; Not-to-do Jobs .
