Tourism: For NAF’s Principles of Hospitality & Tourism Unit 2 - Lesson 4, students will learn about the Environmental Impacts of Tourism and select one of the featured environmental impacts to research and write a one-page summary of the pros and cons of tourism’s effect on the environment.

Culinary Arts: Introduce students to the 4 types of pathogens that can contaminate food and cause foodborne illness with this CTE Online lesson plan.

Marketing: Teach students about advertising, sales, public relations, personal selling, and direct marketing by having them design a promotional mix with this lesson from Youth Entrepreneurs Academy.
