MKT3017 were supposed to have read the chapter on sustainability. I had planned to get them to mindmap what they knew about the subject of sustainability on flipchart paper then talk them through.
Hardly anyone had read the chapter. Some that had, were working with an old edition and in fact had read the wrong topic (the order had changed between versions). Lesson 1 - don't rely on pre work for a seminar topic.
I had to quickly throw something together so explained what sustainability was, then found 3 videos on Dove (thank God for YouTube) - got them started on the topic of body image. Good debate in the end. Then we talked about food, MacDonalds sponsoring the Olympics etc.
Think I can use these three again. The French contingent made a really interesting contribution in the seminar - their views on body image, the size zero debate, and Happy Meals were very...well...French!
Nepalese Students
Thanks to the arrival of three charming Nepalese students this week, we also found out that they also have Happy Meals in Nepal, but the parents are very strict with children there and would not let them have a toy unless they earned it.
