I´ve gathered a lot of old clip art to make this big
collection. There are 315 flashcards from old jobs and occupations to the
present. I searched all the vocabulary from the book series and came up with
this list. I guess that you can use them with all the levels even adults. I will receive requests to change names on any
or to include some more. Notice that some jobs have different ways to write it.
For example, Steelworker and Steel worker. If you google the word, both
versions will show.
Link to the
315 flashcards of jobs from the present and the past.
