Introduction to Food Security

In this lesson, students will be introduced to food security in Australia and globally. A class discussion is used to identify key aspects of food security before students work in groups to critically analyse a range of clips about food production and food security. Groups then move between stations around the classroom contributing answers to a range of questions related to what they have seen. During student-led class discussions at each station the class completes mind maps to summarise their learning. Finally, students connect food security to the produce on their plates by create a supermarket cheat sheet that can be used by their families to make more informed food choices.
