Homework
Homework – English and Theme
Next week in English and Theme we will commence our Persuasive Writing unit. We will be looking at Palm Oil and the impact it has on the environment.
Palm oil is a type of edible vegetable oil that is derived from the palm fruit, grown on the African oil palm tree. Oil palms are originally from Western Africa, but can flourish wherever heat and rainfall are abundant. Today, palm oil is grown throughout Africa, Asia, North America, and South America.
Task:
Palm Oil is used in a wide variety of house hold products.
Find and list 10 products in the home that contain palm oil.
Challenge: On a separate sheet of paper (single side) create an information sheet which details the impact that palm oil has on the environment and the products it may be found in.
Kind regards
Mr Mallison
