Activity 4: “Seafood Journey": From Capture or Culture to Sales (2)

Method:

Students imagine the life of a far away fisher or aquaculturist, with class discussion and journaling.

Time Required:

30 minutes

Materials:

Student journal

Procedure:

1. Start a class discussion using the following questions:

1. Do you have in your mind a picture of what a fisher or aquaculturist might look like? Share with the class

2. Do you personally know people who are fishers or aquaculturists? Talk about it.

3. We have discovered as a class that some of the seafood found at the local supermarket came from very far away. Imagine a fisher or aquaculturist from one of these far away places. What do you think that person is like? What is his or her life like?

2. Have the students write in their journal an entry describing the life of a person from a far away country whose livelihood has to do with catching or raising seafood. Tell them to imagine a day in the life of that person. They can include details about the family of that person.
