A lesson to reflect on the crisis in Myanmar by looking at a photo of people who have fled the violence there. Students will share what they already know about the Myanmar crisis, develop empathy with the people affected, and consider what kind of help people may need. Creative activities include role play, where students imagine a dialogue taking place between people in the photograph, and a written activity, where students write letters imagining someone’s journey from Myanmar, and then write a reply with words of comfort.
