Empowering Global Citizens

3. Why do the characters in the film make some of the choices that

they make?

(Note that students may also read Roald Dahl’s original book alternatively,

instead of watching the movie, and it could be assigned as summer reading

leading up to third grade.)

For homework, students are provided with a Hershey’s Kiss and are asked to

answer the following question and complete the following tasks:

1.

What is the main ingredient in chocolate? (The main ingredient is
cocoa.)

Mark on a world map any five countries where cocoa is grown, and
also mark the world’s largest manufacturer of cocoa.

Mark on a world map three countries where Hershey has a choco—
late manufacturing unit. (There are Hershey manufacturing units
in Mexico, Brazil, the United States, and, thanks to a recent part—
nership with Lotte, a South Korean candy manufacturer, China.)
For more information about Hershey’s consult the resources list.
Conduct background research to find out if chocolate is a modern
phenomenon or if it has a history.
