Fairtrade - GCSE Geography AQA 9-1, Changing Economic World - Reducing the development Gap

LESSON COVERS
How the Fairtrade process works, the positive impacts for producers, and an overview of product pricing.

LESSON INVOLVES
Starter asks students to think about and list where they may have seen the Fairtrade logo. The concept of Fairtrade is then introduced (key indicates key word). Main task uses an infographic of how Fairtrade profits and premium are spent to improve quality of life. Students either answer questions (target 4-5) or create flow charts (target 6+) to indicate how Fairtrade can reduce the development gap. The challenge version of this task gives students the option to create a flow chart with option boxes. Following this students evaluate product price comparisons – Fairtrade vs. other products. The lesson ends with an exam question with an example answer that is fully editable to suit the techniques you teach.
