Instructional Ideas
- Have groups research up-to-date statistics for refugee camps, their location, the number of camps, the approximate number of people living in the camps, and camp conditions before beginning the activity
Classroom Considerations
Pros
- The five-page packet includes cards that detail the the aspect their group is to investigate
Cons
- No specific information is included in the cards; the initial groups need to research to find current statistics
- No rubric for the poster is included
