Grade 11s,

Your homework is to watch the screencastify clips below – they are less than 20 minutes combined. The link I used is: http://www.internal-displacement.org/global-report/grid2017/ . I encourage you to take notes on anything related to the syllabus objective we have been following in class:

The causes and consequences of forced migration and internal displacement
Detailed examples of two or more forced movements, to include
environmental and political push factors, and consequences for people and
places

We will be doing an activity based on this in class next week! This is due on Tuesday for the ’52’ group and Wednesday for the ’51’ group. It is also on Magister
