Outline the lesson objectives and the aim of the series of 5 lessons on Migration – to create a documentary (B21 style) on the topic of Migration. Each group will be given a specific area to cover and present and we will put the 5 sections together at the end. Both classes have been given the same task so we can compare and contrast the finished projects.
Task 1 – sort the cards into chronological order – timeline
Illicit from the students the very many reasons for migration and that it is age old and not a recent phenomenon.
Task 2 – Sort the cards into the 4 main reasons for migration
Feedback and discuss.
Task 3 - Connect 4 activity. Give the students the template with the more detailed reasons to migration. Divide the cards between the students in each group. Please against each other to try and connect 4 reasons to migrate – in any direction (horizontals count). Group game on the board also possible to demonstrate.
Task 4 – Sorting into the correct quadrant – students now consider the different circumstances which migrants face in the countries they travel to. Extension – if time they different types of migrants
