This unit takes a focused look at life on a tea plantation. Ample opportunity is given for children to develop and make use of reading strategies, particularly contextual understanding. In addition some general information is provided about many of the tea producing countries, apart from those that most obviously spring to mind, again providing the opportunity to develop reading strategies. The language within this section is more suited to older pupils.
Further activities ask that pupils locate tea-producing countries in the appropriate continent.
They must also consider a range of information and use that to decide upon the siting of a new plantation. This activity culminates in children writing a report supported if necessary by an on-line writing frame. Do you have any comments you would like make regarding the Tea Trail.
