Lesson 4: Fact and fiction

NC subject links: Citizenship, English, History, Geography

This lesson aims to counteract inaccuracies and negative stereotypes in some media reporting of refugees in the UK.  As a starter activity, pupils will analyse a short newspaper report about refugees in order to identify bias. 

The class will then participate in an interactive power point quiz, designed to introduce them to factual information about refugees, both in the UK and globally.  This will be followed by a brief film clip about a young refugee to encourage identification with an individual of a similar age to themselves.  Pupils will be asked to reflect upon media reporting of refugees.
