What is Fair Trade?Fair Trade certification guarantees that farmers receive a fair price for their cocoa.
Fair Trade certification ensures fair labor conditions—safe working conditions, living wages, and forced child labor is prohibited. Fair Trade certification also ensures environmental sustainability.
Component One: Learning

Students announce and explain the project to the school.
Component Two: Promoting

Students also make posters and display them around the school.
![Page 12: Ppt0000034fairtradechoclatechapelpresentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54980b2db47959bd648b46c7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The students are encouraged to incorporate some of the information that they’ve learned about fair trade and chocolate production. And perhaps apply some concepts they’ve learned about media and advertizing.

$2.00 per bar!
Finally!
Component Three: Selling
Third graders distribute chocolate and collect money.
![Page 16: Ppt0000034fairtradechoclatechapelpresentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54980b2db47959bd648b46c7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
And,of course,they also count money!
![Page 17: Ppt0000034fairtradechoclatechapelpresentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54980b2db47959bd648b46c7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Component Four: Charity Selection
We determine how much money we have generated. What is our profit?
We use Excel to examine these business principles.
We discuss business principles: pricing, expenses, gross sales, and profits.
At this point in the project, the students have been learning about these concepts throughout the selling period as we paid off our expense and eventually derived a profit.

Each student receives a ballot that explains the voting process and summarizes what they have learned about each charity.
Each student has ten votes that they can allot to the charities in whatever way they please.

We collect the ballots and enter the votes into an Excel spreadsheet which we project for the students to see.
![Page 22: Ppt0000034fairtradechoclatechapelpresentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54980b2db47959bd648b46c7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
As we enter the votes, the spreadsheet calculates the percentages and dollar amounts that each charity is receiving.
And the spreadsheet generates a pie chart that shows the changing percentages as we enter the.
