<p>SoW: What are the causes and consequences of migration?</p>
<p>L5: What was life like for the first Caribbean migrants?</p>
<p><strong>L1: Why are some areas of the world more densely populated than others? - Free - <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12695361">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12695361</a></strong></p>
<p>This unit is created in line with my personal passion for Population & Migration. This unit is framed around the cause and consequences of the global population growth, and the process and systems behind this geographical issue.</p>
<p>A conscience effect has also been made to embed dual coding within this SoW, as well as much differentiation and scaffolding.</p>
<p>This Unit is my favorite to deliver and has been streamlined over the last two years. Happy to answer questions and any feedback appreciated…</p>

It is worth noting that some of these lessons require two lessons to be delivered.</p>
Read the poem Windrush Child by John Agard and get children’s reactions. Give brief history of SS Windrush’s journey to Britain in 1948. Children either mark the journey on a map or answer questions about photographs to do with Caribbean immigration on the Windrush.
<p>This lesson on the Windrush Generation explores the arrival of Caribbean migrants to Britain on the SS Empire Windrush in 1948. It examines the push and pull factors for migration, such as post-war labor shortages in Britain and economic difficulties in the Caribbean. Students analyze the challenges faced by the migrants, including racial discrimination and housing issues, and their cultural contributions to British society. Activities include watching and analyzing a video, discussing a case study, identifying push and pull factors, completing a pre-printed activity sheet, and participating in quizzes to reinforce key concepts and historical context.</p>
