Stocking the Supermarkets

This is a key stage 3 lesson that we currently use in our food unit. The main part of the lesson is a decision making exercise where students have to read an annotated map with information about countries where we might source food from. They then have to make a decision on where to source 6 products for their supermarkets. The planning stage involves thinking about price, environmental, animal and worker standards. The plenary asks students to think about the demographics of who will shop at their supermarket. There is also a glossary for students to stick in their books and refer to, in order to help them with the main task.
