Quality of the products in the supermarket

GOOD PRACTICE OVERVIEW, CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
The main goal is to involve students to do a research work on food quality in the supermarket, review certain products, be able to read the label and composition of the products, know the meaning of the label Fairtrade. Objectives: to study the words on a food topic in English, aims of the Fair Trade label.

SWOT Analysis

Strengths

  • The research method was: working in pairs and comparing food products by their composition, compiling a table and analyzing it. It is necessary to make a list of the highest quality products in pairs that do not contain dyes, preservatives, E-substances, flavorings, gluten free, sugar free, vegetarian.
  • They liked working in pairs and comparing the composition of goods and the findings, which surprised them, because not all the foods they prefer to buy turned out to be of high quality in composition and had a quality mark or eco-label.

Weaknesses

Some students wanted to work on their own, not in pairs. They didn’t want to compare many products, so it was difficult to analyze the conclusions without a database.

Opportunities

  • This work can become a research work in the 11th grade in the gymnasium, which can be sent to the NGO Mondo environmental competition in Estonia. This practical work can be a type of test or creative work.
  • This practice assignment can be completed in agreement with the supermarket, teachers can take the class on a study tour to the supermarket, or become a “shadow of the seller” and be a volunteer there.
  • Involve students in the study of the composition of food we eat and motivate them to be selective, consume less in moderation and not throw away food.
