Day 35

Inquiry into Language and Immigration: Today we discussed what push and pull factors are. We talked about how these can make a person want to leave their country and goto another. We talked about how sometimes things like natural disasters and wars can force people to leave quickly without much notice.

We then discussed a child called Malak she is a Syrian refugee. We talked about her story of what happened and how she had to leave her home suddenly. We talked about how children have rights in Canada and a better way of life. We talked about how these things shouldn't scare us but we should be knowledgeable about the world around us and how other children live. We listened to Malak's story:

We then created a brainstorm of Malak's journey and put it in order of how it happened.


Once complete students were told they were going to write a letter to UNICEF and ask them to help Malak.  We described what Unicef is: UNICEF is a program that helps needy children and promotes children's rights around the world. UNICEF is an acronym, or abbreviation, for the program's original name—United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. ... UNICEF is funded by donations from governments and individuals.












Afterwards we followed up with a video showing Malak one year later:
