Refugees in the English lessons

Hi there,

The post today is about introducing Refugees in the English classroom. More than a million refugees have fled Syria and another war-torn countries migrate to the European Union in search of a peaceful, better life. As teachers we are comitted to help students to understand what's happening around us and the post today is about a demand that some students asked to me before Easter time. I have been working, reading and looking for some resources a long these days and I have found a video about a seventeen-year-old syrian refugee boy who traveled  across the Mediterranean Sea to Greece. His English is not very clear but students can understand him because they can read what he says.

Furthermore, his way of living can be comprehensible for children and they can emphasize with him because he is one from 50 million kids who are living as refugees or migrants. 

Focusing on why is the refugees crisis all over the news and why we should care it at all, here you have a video to help you with explanations in our lessons.
Furthermore, here you have another explanation of the European Migration crisis. 
After that, I think that we can work through this song. My idea is to give lyrics to children leaving some gaps. We will concentrate on new words like moving, minds, countless, roads, traces, memories, pains, dreams, someday and somewhere among the main ones.

After that, we can think some proposals for action!
Just you know, here you have some proposals by United Nations.
