'The Mall of the Future vs. The Ag Mall' |
|
|---|---|
|
Mall of the Future vs. Ag Mall utilizes a Prezi presentation to take students virtually through the two different malls. Each student is given $50 of imaginary money where they are required to purchase items from the 5 different stores as they “travel” through the malls. Although this sounds easy, they quickly learn that without agriculture, their food selection in the Mall of the Future consists of a bottle of water. The food that existed in the past is no longer available because farm land has been destroyed. Through this experience, they quickly realize how agriculture touches their everyday lives! Workshop Session (all workshops will be 75 minutes) | |
