Retail and Hospitality - BUTCHERThe Butcher Shop: A Project Primary Middle Secondary
1. Draw pictures of all the types of meat (animals) you would
find in a butcher shop. 3. Find out what types of meat your family buys at the butcher? Does your family buy all their meat at the butcher? At the supermarket? A mixture of both? Find out from your family why they buy their meat at the different places [or same place]. Is it service? Quality of meat? Or price that is the main criteria. 4. As a class, make up a graph of the prices, types of meat and where the families buy their meat. What is the overall concensus of where families buy their meat. 5. Over the course of 4 weeks, weigh the amount of meat consumed by your family. Work out how much meat, per weight, does your family consume in a year? "Total meat consumption per capita in Australia has been stable since the 1960s, at around 110 kilograms per person per year." (Source: The Conversation) Does your family consume 110K per person per year? Less? More? 6. Graph the amount of different types of meat that are consumed by the families in your class:
7. Ask your local butcher if they have another source of income besides the shop - eg. do they supply the local club for their meat raffles? Do they sell other related products eg. eggs, to diversify and encourage shoppers? 8. Investigate. Ask your local butcher about the knives they use.
Fact Check: Australian meat consumption? Changing? Middle Secondary Australian Curriculum General Capability: ICT Capability Australian Curriculum General Capability: Literacy Australian Curriculum General Capability: Numeracy Australian Curriculum General Capability: Critical and creative thinking Cooperative Learning Activity
1. In groups of 4 - 5 students, you are going to investigate meat consumption in Australia. Read the following article from The Conversation 9 June 2017 2. You are going to create an infograph [use the infographics here to create your infographic] about the information contained in this article. As a group, mindmap the information first. Remember to use lots of colour and icons in your mindmap as it will help later to create a meaningful infograph. 3. Using your mindmap, start organising your infograph. Decide on the different colours and fonts you are going to use to stand out in the crowd. 4. You might like to add a cartoon on meat consumption - there are many! 5. Create your infograph and display it for the rest of the class to see.
