The focus of this ongoing series is to understand how everyday foods, enjoyed by many people, have interesting geographical backstories. Teacher Cameron will explore the geography and history of popular foods such as pizza, chocolate, bananas, and Coca-Cola. Common themes to be discussed include early exploration, world geography, trade, globalization, colonialism, food miles, and Fair Trade. Each class will involve creating story maps as the main activity, summarizing the learning about each food. This will include an introduction to mapmaking, covering symbols, colors, lines, and the organization of ideas, with mapmaking being modeled throughout each lesson. Additional activities to support the learning will include class discussions, fun quizzes and games, and sometimes singing. Teacher Cameron aims to give everyone a chance to participate in whichever way suits them, always providing a safe and supportive learning environment. Teacher Cameron encourages students to share their work to receive feedback and credit for their efforts.

Teacher Cameron has had a lot experience leading class discussions on sensitive historical concepts. In this class, he addresses sensitive topics such as slavery and colonialism in his lessons about food history with a balanced approach. He recognizes that most students have already learned about the slave trade in their school lessons and does not dwell on these subjects. However, he includes them as part of the narrative on early globalization, explaining their impact on the popularity and affordability of certain foods, like chocolate. Cameron highlights the economic aspects and briefly touches on social justice issues, encouraging students to ask questions and engage in discussions. He also informs students about current efforts to address social justice in the international food industry, such as Fair Trade initiatives.
To ensure he handles these topics appropriately, Cameron consults best practices from educational resources. Notable references include articles from Tes Magazine and Edutopia, which provide strategies for improving teaching about colonialism and adopting a trauma-informed approach to discussing the colonization of the Americas.
