This lesson involves carrying out a survey to measure what students think about Fairtrade, chocolate and their power as consumers, and developing a Fairtrade action plan from the results.
If you intend to carry out a whole school survey, ask for your headteacher’s backing first. Decide how your students can carry out their survey without disruption to lessons. Should they interview face-to-face at lunchtime or break? Would it be more effective to ask other class teachers to give class time to the survey? In which case, they will need printed copies for their students. Decide how to collect and collate the surveys.
A similar survey was conducted nationwide by Comic Relief in 2003: results can be viewed at www.dubble.co.uk.
