Refugee Lessons
After students have seen the Children's Theater Production of the Lost Boys of Sudan, provide them with a local connection.  The following activities will allow them to understand more about the refugees who have resettled in Minnesota, the process of becoming a refugee, and how individually or as a class they can take action to welcome refugees to their school and community.
