What   Your group will create two notice boards to compare migration in the United Kingdom to the Netherlands and design and build a model of a present day refugee camp. On one board you will be migration from a historical perspective and the other board will be the present situation. How Divide your group into three sub-groups. Each subgroup will be responsible for a different aspect of the project. Begin each day with a meeting to make an action plan, and give each other feedback on what the group is up to and how to further develop ideas. Boards Create two boards (historical perspective and present situation) to compare the migration in both countries. Each board consists of: At least one pie chart including percentages At least one line graph including labels Relevant information The aim here is to prepare your notice board to clearly show relevant historical and present day information about migration in these areas. In order to do this you should use graphs/ tables/ pictures/ maps and written work to explain your findings and to clearly compare the history of migration to the current situation. Refugee camp Create your own concept of a refugee camp on an A3-paper by using straws, paper and nets. Draw a detailed plan of the design which clearly explains your choices for your refugee camp.
