Quick Lesson Ideas for Secondary and Primary
Vegetarianism is a subject that can be explored in any subject
area! The Vegetarian Society’s Quick Lesson Ideas, with accompanying
Quick Vegetarian Facts, offer teachers a variety of ideas for
studying vegetarianism
across the curriculum. As the name suggests, each lesson is quick
to prepare and can be expanded and built upon to suit the needs
of individual classes.
Quick Lesson Ideas are currently available for Secondary Sciences,
