The day before teaching this lesson, ask your students to write down the name and brand of five different cosmetics or household products (anything from dish soap to toothpaste to shampoo to lip balm) that they have at home. They should have their list handy for this lesson plan.
Referring to the list of products they made the night before, ask each student to research the company-and, if applicable, the parent company-for each of the products on their list to find out if the brand is certified cruelty-free.
