Refugees ThinkPack - based on Boy Overboard

Stretch your students' thinking about important issues - like refugees, or prejudice...Take popular children's novels that incorporate timeless themes and use them as Blooms-based activities to stretch students' minds over literacy, social and environment studies, maths, art, and science. Great as a class unit or as an enrichment activity to challenge more able students. Includes philosophical questions for discussion, as well as Sternberg-type activities.

The Refugees Unit is based on Boy Overboard by Morris Gleitzman. Afghanistan refugee Jamal and his family are the unwitting subjects of international politics, but Jamal's love of soccer helps keep hope alive.
