3.3 and 3.7

Learning Intentions:
Understand what is meant by supply and demand
Demonstrate the relationship between price and choice
Analyse the benefits that and challenges that international trade brings to an economy

Success Criteria: 
I will learn about the demand for cheap clothing to be delivered as fast as possible 
I will study how this increase in demand for cheap clothing that is constantly changing has created greater competiton between companies in international trade
I will research how this increase in demand can both positively and negatively affect the stakeholders involved in the production of fast fashion


How this might be used in class:

Students would have learned about basic supply and demand and the factors affecting supply and demand in previous classes as well as globalisation. 

Students would have a class discussion around what are the advantages and disadvantages of this increase in demand of fast fashion for the three pillars, people involved, the profit and the planet (environment). 

Students would then investigate a particular company e.g Primark to see these negative and positive impacts. E.g Rana Plaza Collapse, Primark Sustainability initiative. Opportunity for class debate. ]]> 2022-03-10 11:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jct2/rzupmaw9915np4c2/wish/2088165414
