Mark Thomas on Coca-Cola

Political activist and journalist Mark Thomas travels to South America, India and the US to investigate the way in which Coca-Cola and its suppliers operate and the extent to which they upholds moral and ethical obligations

Coca-Cola is one of the most iconic brands of both the 20th and 21st centuries. Promoting itself as the drink of freedom, choice and US patriotism, the company’s feel-good factor is recognised worldwide and reflected in its enormous profits. But behind this carefully crafted image exists a company accused of environmental damage, human rights violations and questionable business practices.

As revision for Yr.11 and useful for Yr.10, we will be looking at Coca-Cola for your third piece of coursework this year.

Black Gold and Survived

Published at November 2, 2007 in Bangladesh, People as Consumers, Teacher Resources, Yr10, Yr11 and coping with floods. 0 Comments

51PmJ4LE%2BvL__AA240_ It seemed at some parts of the week that my body would just give in, but I think I’ve managed to survive the Bangladesh jet lag and the stomach is becoming better. Looking forward to watching Black Gold about the production of coffee, catching up with sleep, reading some entries from other Geogblogs, especially Alan’s (I wonder how his students are getting on…) and preparing for next week. Year 11 should be putting their finishing touches to their flooding coursework, whilst Year 10 will be contemplating Wanda….

Urban tumbleweed

Published at November 1, 2007 in Just for Fun and People as Consumers. 2 Comments

Nice use of words from the B.B.C and a great little day in the life of a carrier bag. Urban tumbleweed reminds me somewhat of the College litter crop, which is doing well this year.

Year 11- Welcome back…

Published at September 5, 2007 in People as Consumers and Yr11. 0 Comments

Coke Sorry for the lack of posts, I imagine your head feels like mine. It was lovely to see everyone.

I’ve now added a new tag, ‘Yr11‘ because I will soon be introducing the Year Ten to the blog, please though continue to express your opinions on all posts, following the Year Ten’s progress with be good revision.

We have marked your My Place work, it now needs moderating, which shouldn’t be a lengthy process this time.

For those of you still in sunny climates, this week we started our final piece of coursework, basically the end of Year Ten. Wanda Lust is back, she survived Antarctica, but is now worried about Cola-Cola. Should she boycott it or not?

Remember this is an informed piece of writing with an audience, the emphasis is on you producing a balanced argument, incorporating named case studies, by completing your own research. Finally, you will have to come to an informed decision, basically a personal conclusion. All your writing must be your own.

We will be in a computer room for the next two weeks, Mrs Marston has bagged the new Humanities computer room, though she is slightly distressed that is lacks the essential computers.

Nice to see that many of have taken your work away to begin research, at the weekend I will add a new support page to the blog, including the links we gave you. Please remember that you will need to include a bibliography in your work, so keep a list of all website you have used. I will post a little note on the convention for this later.

There is no need to incorporate images, diagrams or maps within this piece of work, but if you do, remember to annotate and refer to them within your writing. Pretty and enlightened, not pretty and dim. :) You must also include the source of the graphics used within your bibliography.

Remember you only have six lessons and a short period before the final deadline.

For teachers, we are indebted to Jane Girlow, we have adapted her assessment for our students.
