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.

To illustrate the difficulty of the process of applying for asylum, the class will attempt to fill out the asylum application in a “language” that students may find somewhat familiar: Pig Latin.
