Great lesson!
Very nice lesson, thank you!
Excellent lesson!! Everything you need to complete a lesson hour!!
Good job!
There are some good activity ideas here, but I think teachers need to be careful when teaching this topic – especially to a group of students from other countries. I have refugees in my class (as I’m sure many others do) and a topic like this could be incredibly traumatising for those who have escaped persecution.
Excellent source of information; thank you.
thank you so much for this lesson plan, nicely set up and leads on really well! Appreciate your kindness for sharing :)
