Unit 7.4: Who will we become?
This unit is the fourth of six units about Aluel’s and Gabriel’s journey. The Reader’s Theater introduces students to the refugee crisis after Hurricane Katrina. Students then read about Aluel’s and Gabriel’s trip to the U.S. and also read first hand accounts from three real Lost Boys about their experiences returning to Sudan after living in the U.S. In the unit debate, students explore whether or not it is ever justifiable to displace others in the name of progress. Students also complete a writing activity where they give advice to Aluel and Gabriel on adjusting to American life.
