Hi, Galen, I think that this is very good idea. Do you have an instruction of the exercise that you may share with me?
Thanks!

This can be done individually, or better, as a group project with different students taking on different steps of the process. For example, I did a whole class on an actual cotton T-shirt starting with cotton production and ending with the sale and use in a second-hand market in Africa. The journey says a lot about the global system. Students can pay attention to labor, value-added processes and environmental impacts at each step.
