What we did last week #2

What we did last week, our class watch the third and think the last video that we had to describe. We had to answer questions and answer them on a doc but I'll just show a screenshot of what I did.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Task 1:

Watching the video: I AM A REFUGEE: Globel Refugees Bust Myths.

List the 4 main myths about refugees that were presented in this video.

-Myth 1: Refugees want to leave their country.

-Myth 2: Terrorists are posing as refugees to infiltrate other countries. 

-Myth 3: Refugees are a burden to society.

-Myth 4: Muslim refugees are more of a threat than Christian ones.

After watching this video what are your thoughts on these myths? Do you believe any of
them are true? Explain your answer. 

-From all the videos I’ve seen most of them had refugees claiming that they were terrified from all

the death threats and fears of persecution. And in my mind, I see that they wanted to stay but from all
that going on is what got them thinking that they needed to leave for the better good. 

I never really heard of the second myth which got me thinking if it is true or not, but to be honest I don’t
know what goes on there. But I do not believe this myth, if so and it’s true hopefully it stops.

 I don’t apply to the third myth because I think everybody is equal and we should all treat each other
with respect, and do not think it’s good to say that refugees are a burden to society because, in my
opinion, it’s not as 

 For the last myth, I insist that a lot of people believe this and should be reminded that this is not
what we were brought up to do and to assume that it’s true, and in my opinion, I think it’s true.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Thoughts:

After viewing the video in this lesson, use a separate sheet of paper to thoughtfully answer the
following 2 questions completely.

1. Do you think refugees have the right to be protected when they get to a new country? Do

you think that in most countries they ARE being properly protected? - Yes, I reckon refugees

should have the right to be protected since a lot of aren’t but I’m not the one to chose but I do believe

some countries aren’t properly protected because of ridiculousness like ‘It’s not my fault’ ‘You’re not

even ____’. 

2. Do you think the United States should have its borders open to refugees at all times? Do you think there are issues that would arise for America in doing this? -I don’t think they will have them open at all times since many do enter with a lot of issues they have themselves. But again, I wouldn’t mind this and I think it wouldn’t be such a burden for them to rome around and to live a life.

thoughts about a video called “What does it mean to be a Refugee?”

  

1. Worldwide, approximately how many people have been forced to leave their homes as refugees? - 60 million.

5. What percentage of refugees are children? What dangers do they face? - Half of the people that are refugees are roughly children and not only that, some of the kids are without accompanying by an
adult.

6. What is the difference between a migrant or refugee? - If talking about a migrant they have chosen to move out of the country to find a better life, refugees have been forced out of their country/home due to deadly consequences.

{Me} 

Kia Orana, Fakalofa lahi atu and greetings to all.

I am delighted to present myself to the school that I’ve newly enrolled in. My name is
Hope, I came here from Pt England school. This will be my first and last year here at
Glen Taylor. To all that are new as well, I will like to make a good connection with you
all hopefully getting to know yous too.

I’ve heard there are new students in the school, a whole heap of kids joined the school
with so much to share! I’ve met a new person on my first day of school! She is also new to
the school as well we’ve gotten along with each other so well! I hope to learn differently
and make as many memories as I can! Are you excited for 2020?

"Identity"

Last week as a class Room 11 all wrote what the word "Identity" means to us in one doc. We had our own box to write in and we proceed to explain the word. I wrote down what it means to me,

"Identity? When I think of that word It reminds me of my mum, dad, my siblings and others that I’m related to. Again to me, it’s just a word that people pronounce as your personality, who you are and where you came from, but looking into the word means more than it looks. I find many many more interesting and surprising things that I not only know of but things I wouldn't even think of while mentioning the word. I’ll gladly say that the word means more than what you think it means and don’t get ahead of yourself when thinking the words means nothing when it does." 

That's what I wrote down in the box. It really didn't mean anything to me but now it's different. 

That's all I remembered last week I found it really interesting. How about you? What do you think of the word? Is it positive, negative or neutral?
