Activity 1.1: Sharing Stories
Several days before this lesson, have students collect news stories that refer to refugee or immigration issues. Keep articles in notebooks for future lessons. Using a world map, have students indicate their ancestors countries of origin. (Give students the opt ion of choosing a different family's country of origin if they wish.) You may wish to mark the nations and regions on the map with pins, or list the countries chronologically. Teachers and students may also wish to note the number of generations that have passed since the family left its country or region of origin.
