But how can students begin to relate to people half way
across the world, to have an inkling of what it is like to work on a cocoa
farm, at a t-shirt factory, a banana plantation?

ANNOUNCING TRANSFAIR’S K-12 CURRICULUM: FOCUS ON FAIR TRADE

The Focus
on Fair Trade Curriculum offers an accessible way to introduce
students of all ages to the concept of global interdependence through an
exploration of familiar foods produced outside the USA: chocolate, bananas and
coffee; and an introduction to Fair Trade.

TransFair's
curriculum is divided into three units for different age groups: Chocolate
Explorers (K-2), Banana Bonanza (3-6), and Coffee Connections
(7-12).  Each unit includes lesson plans with ideas for accessible,
interactive activities on topics ranging from geography, economics, social
studies, history, environmental studies, and marketing.   Also
includes a comprehensive list of additional resources and recommended
links.
