This unit was created to make students think critically about their world. Students learned about the use of slave and child labor in the chocolate industry and the benefits of the Fair Trade system. Students took their knowledge and educated their families and peers about the subject, wrote letters to chocolate company CEOs and took personal steps towards making more just decisions when purchasing chocolate.
