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.
This Reading Comprehension handout is best suited for advanced ESL learners or native English speaking students. Students are introduced to a detailed history of cocoa/chocolate and are then required to complete some comprehension exercises including: questions, True or False and gap filling exercises. The vocabulary used in the text is rather advanced and can also be used for IGSCE or IELTS vocabulary building purposes.
