This is a lesson that looks at unfair trade in the chocolate industry. The lesson begins with a discussion about what is fair and what is valuable. Students then take on roles in the chocolate chain of production and have to pitch for their share of a £1 chocolate bar. They always inevitably ask too much. It is then up to the class to negotiate everyone down before the real split is revealed. It contains a link to a short video on youtube about slavery in the chocolate trade. The lesson ends with evaluation questions about fair trade.
