Why is there so much hunger while there is so much food?! This quiz which fits with the 2016 Fairtrade Fortnight theme of food security, but can be used at any time. National Curriculum links: Key Stage 3 Geography: Place knowledge- UK relationship with the wider world. Human geography processes and change- population and economy. Key Stage 4 Geography: Human geography processes and change- global economic development issues, the causes and consequences of uneven development at a global level. A Level Economics: The international economy- globalisation, trade, market failure- inequity, environment, income distribution. Geography: International trade, including access to markets, inequality and 'fair trade'; the nature of economic, political, social and environmental interdependence in the contemporary world; inequities of global systems and how they can result in unemployment, poverty and declining welfare standards for some people and localities, and advantages for other people and localities; food production, circulation and consumption.

Print out and cut out these pictures. Arrange them into chronological order, starting with the nuts being produced, and ending with them in the UK. Use this to prompt discussion among the class over, for example, how many people are involved in the process. Key Stage 1 Geography: City, town, village, factory, farm, house, office, port, harbour, shop

For use online: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KOw0TnGdrFhZWTlPPqgogDPmWxjpjTJPvCCY8gMdx7U/copy This resource is ideal for Fairtrade Fortnight, and can be used with all ages by varying the amount of depth you go into. It suits the curriculum for Geography, Biology and Environmental Studies. This resource explains the story of how a Brazil nut is gathered in the Amazon rain forest and sold in the UK. It follows the gatherers as they encounter many scary/ cute animals. Brazil nuts depend on certain animals for their pollination and seed dispersal, and how this means they cannot be farmed. It then explains how these animals interact others in the forest. The presentation ends with information about life in the Amazon as a Fairtrade farmer, and the benefits Fairtrade has brought local children. It also situates this trade within the context of agribusiness and deforestation. Activities: It is suggested in the presentation that a 16.5m length of string be used to demonstrate the width of a Brazil nut tree. I have also used Fairtrade nut packaging to create rainforest animal hats.

I created this workshop about politics for adult learners studying entry level adult literacy. They each had learning difficulties and differences/ LDD/ SEN. However, I have also used it with primary school children. Once, I accompanied the lesson with resources about democracy from Twinkl. I used it to cover the British Values requirement to cover Democracy. The presentation explains what elections are, and accompanies the worksheets ‘election literature’ and ‘words and definitions’. In the election literature worksheet learners are asked to identify the type and purpose of pieces of literature which came through my door at election time. They then match the political words to the definitions (cut these our first). In the final worksheet ‘health policies’, learners consult the ‘comparison table’ and ‘short manifesto’ to answer questions about the policies of each party.
