Business Cards and Jobs

This lesson has been created by real life explorer Sarah Weldon FRGS as part of her preparation for a world first solo row around the coast of Britain in 2017. It takes a fun look at the history of the business card, and why people, including explorers need a business card. This activity is centred around a video of Sarah (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ5e_LP0xxE), followed by a cross curricular activity where students should design and make their own business card, practice their social etiquette, and learn more about the importance of the card and it's etiquette in different cultures to their own.
