A brand new, fully resourced lesson which looks a the Channel crossing tragedy in which 27 people died in November 2021. Includes- A song starter which allows the students to guess the topic of the lesson. Up to date data and graphs from the gov.uk website about migration and asylum claims in the UK. These include some basic data analysis tasks but could easily be adapted to be more skills based to allow students to draw the graphs themselves with raw data from the website. Maps at a variety of scales showing migrant routes. Again could easily be adapted to include some activities on scale to work out distances traveled. Reasons why some migrants don’t stay in France A card sort activity looking at the stories of migrants who have attempted the journey themselves over recent years. A worksheet to complete for this task is also included. Plenary question
