Migration Service Learning Lesson Plan:
In this project, students will read sections from the Migration Issue Brief concerning why migration happens and the economic and cultural effects of migration. Students will read “the town that loves refugees” to learn about the resettlement process for refugees in the US. The teacher will engage the students in a discussion about the readings to understand the issues and will have the students learn about the immigrant population in their own community. For the service aspect of the project, students will volunteer at a local refugee resettlement or immigrant services organization and write a report about the experience.
