Lesson Title: Immigration
Grade: 11
Length: 60 min
Short Description of the Lesson Plan:
The aim of this lesson is for the students to become aware and comprehend the immigration phenomenon in all its complexity. Greece, being one of the biggest “receiving “countries of both refugees and immigrants, is now facing an enormous challenge, thus making it compulsory for students to fully grasp the concept of fleeing one’s country and to realize that all of us are potential refugees or immigrants. They also need to be able to pinpoint the reasons that force people to immigrate and understand that we are dealing with a timeless phenomenon, therefore all prejudices and biases need to be removed, starting from the classroom and moving outwards into the local community and beyond.
The lesson will take place in the computer lab.
