Card Sort: Pros and Cons of Fast Fashion

This fun and interactive resource is designed to help students understand the benefits and draw backs of fast fashion. The main activity focuses around a card sort, but I have also included a PowerPoint with a starter, plenary and speech writing consolidation exercise to accompany the resource.

When you purchase this document you will be able to download a single page Word Document with 16 information cards on fast fashion and two heading cards under which they can be sorted. I have also uploaded a 12 slide PowerPoint to help introduce the card sort. It includes a starter, plenary, information slide, writing template and sentence starters for the speech writing task as well as a table and a review task to help feedback to students.
