Fair Deal, A: Shopping for Social Justice

This Canadian resource provides engaging information and visuals to support learning about the history of trade, urbanization, fair trade, child labour, and the power of consumers. Suitable for grades 5-7, the title could be used for teacher-directed learning, inquiry projects, literature circles, independent reading, or student action groups. The child-friendly language and informal style can encourage critical thinking and prompt students to think about their own consumer habits. Colourful photos are appealing and a resources page recommends two books and several websites for further research.
