Prompt the students to discuss their need for information as they attempt to answer Nigel’s challenge.

Then, lead them in a discussion of what kinds of information they might need:

• Information about Unilever, the company they have just started working for. They might want to learn what tea producers Unilever works with.
• Information about where tea is produced and who produces it, and — since Nigel has said the shipment needs to arrive quickly — where the nearest location is where tea can be obtained.
• Information on how the tea can be transportation to Jebel Ali. Can it be trucked? Or shipped? How long will it take? Who can ship it?

Any other details students can think of?

Students may suggest many other kinds of information they should gather before they try to create a recommendation for Nigel.
