Open powerpoint below and read each scenario.

Find a family member at home and discuss what some of the Emotional, Social and Physical survival challenges might be for asylum seekers in each of the scenarios.

Create a table in Word or One Note that has a row for each of the four scenarios and a column for Emotional. Social and Physical Survival.

In your table list as many survival challenges as possible for each scenario. Send this to your teacher.

Create a flow chart digitally or on paper and in the centre: Survivors.

On thearms of your flow chart include groups of people in societies across the group at various points in history- who might have struggled with similar survival scenarios as today's asylum seekers.

Youmay have to so some research: some possibilities from history might be: Cambodians during the Khmer Rouge reign, the Jewish people in Nazi Germany. From recently:the victims of Civil War in Syria.

Email flow chart to teacher or submit next time you see them.

Show the class all of the scenarios in attached powerpoint on the screen and briefly discuss some of the survival techniques that would be required.

Divide the class into groups of 4 or 5 and give each group a scenario (print out powerpoint slides prior to class) and a piece of A3 paper for students to divide up however they see fitinto these categories: Emotional Survival, Physical Survival, Social Survival.

In groups, students write in survival challenges  under each category.

Class discussion: a spokesperson from each group reports back to the class on the survival challenges from their scenario. Other groups may contribute further ideas.

As a class discuss other groups of people in societies across the group at various points in history- who might have struggled with similar survival scenarios as today's asylum seekers.

Teacher to provide flow chart on baord for students to photograph/copy.
