Course of activity
step 1
Students will discuss the overall project and what they have learned together. They will determine what they want to share with the community and how. They will then divide tasks and roles between groups to gather all products, materials and research and make a plan to present this in a fun way.
step 2
Working in groups, students will set up a market stall (in or outside the school) and display their research, data visualisations, recipe book, packaging and snacks to share with the community. They will make sure there are enough snacks for a larger audience to taste, and decorate the stall in an attractive way.
step 3
An event will provide the opportunity to share their findings in more detail through delivering a presentation.
