Lesson video

Hi, everyone.

My name is Miss Dhillon.

And last lesson, we were exploring the question, what is migration? And in this lesson, we learned about the six types of migration.

One of these is national migration.

Can you name the other five types of migration? I'm going to give you a few moments to think.

Okay, let's go through the answers.

So I said national migration.

There's also international migration.

There's voluntary migration or forced migration, permanent migration and temporary migration.

So that is six types of migration.

Well done If you remembered some, if not all of them.

In today's lesson, we are going to be exploring the question how do migrants vary? This is what the structure of our lesson is going to look like today.

We will be going through the star words, recapping the seven continents, before moving on to learning some new key vocabulary.

Then we will look at character profiles, and finally, we will look at push and pull factors.

For this lesson, please make sure you have a piece of paper or a book, a pen or pencil, and your brain ready to do lots of new learning.

On the screen, you can see the star words for today's lesson.

I will be going through these keywords as we move through our lesson, but let's start by saying them out loud using my turn, then your turn.

Migration.

International migrant.

Economic migrant.

Refugee.

Push factor.

Pull factor.

Excellent job, team.

To start the lesson, we will recap our knowledge of the seven continents.

I know you had lots of fun doing this last lesson, so we're going to do it again.

But this time I would really like you to focus on trying to get the ones you didn't get right last time and making sure you get them right this time.

So I hope you're up for the challenge.

Are you ready? In one, two, three.

Pause the video now to complete this task.

Okay, team, so on the screen, you can now see the seven continents.

Make sure you check your answers.

Now, last lesson, we were looking at different types of migration.

We are going to recap some of them together.

Let's start by recapping what a forced migration is.

The answer is that you have no choice in leaving the source country.

Sometimes people are forced to migrate due to war, for example.

Permanent migration is when the migrant intends on remaining in the host country.

Well done.

So they don't want to go back to their source country, which is where they came from.

Voluntary migration is when a migrant makes a choice, and they make a choice to move because of work, for example, or because they want to study in another country.

Finally, temporary migration is when a migrant intends on returning back to the source country.

So it's only temporary for a short period of time because they will definitely go back to their original country.

Now, the reason we recapped this is because we need to know what these words mean to study our character profiles, which we'll be doing later on in this lesson.

There's also some new vocabulary that we need to understand.

Today we're going to be looking at character profiles, and that is why it is important to understand this key vocabulary.

The first one we have covered already, but just to make sure we understand, we're going to look at it again.

International migrant.

My turn, your turn.

International migrant.

Good job.

This is a person who moves from one country to another country.

What is the difference, can you tell me, between a international and a national migrant? Take a few moments to think of the answer.

Say it out loud.

Okay, so you might've said the difference is that a national migrant is a person who moves within one country, whereas international migrant moves from one country to another country.

So that is a difference between national and international migrants.

The second keyword you will need to know is economic migrant.

This is a person who moves from one place to another place for economic reasons.

For example, they might be looking for a job or they might want to have higher salary, which means they want to earn more for the job that they're doing.

So they are moving for economic reasons.

Lastly, we are going to look at the keyword refugee.

A refugee is a person who is forced to leave their home.

And this might be because of war or persecution or a natural disaster.

It is now time for you to match up the keywords with the correct definition to make sure you're paying attention and understanding this new vocabulary that I've just taught you.

Pause the video now.

Here are the answers.

Well done if you matched those up correctly.

You have made a great start to today's lesson.

We are now going to look at some character profiles.

The first one is of Antoni, who is 28 years old and is a male.

Let's read his profile together.

Are you ready? "My name is Antoni.

I own a cafe in the city of Cambridge in the United Kingdom.

I chose to come to the UK because the salaries are much higher than in Poland and there are more job opportunities.

Although I would like to return to Poland for holidays, I plan to stay in the UK for the rest of my life.

My life is better here in England." Now, the task I would like you to complete is if you look on the right-hand side, you can see some pink text.

You always have two options.

You need to select the right option to make the sentence correct.

For example, let's have a look at the first one.

Antoni is a forced or is a voluntary migrant.

Think of that for a few seconds.

Is he a forced or voluntary migrant? Okay, so if we read the text, it says, "I chose to come to the UK." The world "chose" gives us a clue that he made a choice.

So it is voluntary.

It is not forced.

So I would cross that out and I would finish the sentence Antoni is a voluntary migrant.

And that's how you would write your sentence.

Now, I've done the first one for you.

You should be ready to do the rest.

Pause the video now to complete the task on the screen.

Here are the answers.

Let's go through them just to make sure you understand.

Antoni is a voluntary migrant because he made a choice.

He's also a permanent migrant because he said although he wants to go back to Poland for holidays, his intention is to stay in the United Kingdom.

He is a international migrant because he moved from Poland to the United Kingdom.

And finally, he's a economic migrant because he moved there for the purpose of work and finding a better job.

We are now going to move on to look at another character profile, but this time it is a female.

Her name is Maria, and she is 37 years old.

Let's read her profile together.

Are you ready? "I had to flee my country to come to the United Kingdom because of war and unrest in my home country.

I love my country, but is not a safe place for myself and my children.

The UK is safer for the moment.

I hope that one day soon we will be able to return to Syria." Now, for Maria, I would like you to do exactly the same thing.

You need to decide from the two options which one is true for her case.

I would now like you to pause the video to complete this task.

Here are the answers.

I'm now going to explain them so they make more sense.

Maria is a forced migrant because she had to leave a country because it's in war.

She is a temporary migrant because she says that she hopes to return one day when Syria is safe.

Maria is a international migrant because she moved from Syria to the United Kingdom.

And finally, she is a refugee because she was fleeing war.

I hope you enjoyed those questions.

And now, very excitingly, you are going to create your own character profile.

In the white box, you can see the examples of the options that I used for the character profiles that I showed you.

In this box, you can see that I would like you to draw a picture of your migrant, write the name and the age, and then write a description.

If you want to see an example, you can go back to the example of Antoni or Maria to see a model example.

Pause the video now to complete your character profile.

Okay, team.

So hopefully you've created some really interesting character profiles.

We are now going to move on to the next part of the lesson, which is looking at push and pull factors.

Migrants leave their source countries, which is where they were born, for a variety of reasons.

Push factors are the factors that causes someone to leave their source country.

So the source country is where they're born and there are factors that push them to leave that country.

On the other hand, there are pull factors.

Pull factors are factors that attract someone to a new host country.

So it's pulling them into a new country.

So something is very attractive that makes them want to move to that country.

On the screen, you can see a range of push and pull factors.

Can you place the following factors into the correct column? So I would like you to draw two columns.

On one side, you have the push factors, and on the other, you have the pull factors, and you need to pick which factor belongs in which column.

Pause the video now to complete the task on the screen.

Here are the answers.

I would like you to take a few moments to check the columns and compare them to the ones that you did.

So remember, push factors is what's pushing you to leave your source country.

For example, if there's a war going on, you don't want to stay in that country.

You want to go to another country in order to be safe.

Pull factors is what's pulling you into the host country.

For example, better jobs and a better prospect of life and quality of life.

We are now going to look at the character profiles again, but this time we're going to identify the push and pull factors for Antoni.

We're going to be thinking about what made him want to leave Poland and attracted him into the UK.

So, for example, let's think about one push factor that made him want to leave Poland.

In the text, I can see it says, "I chose to come to the UK because the salaries are much higher than in Poland." So I can frame this as a push factor.

I can say that one push factor that made Antoni want to leave Poland was that the salaries were not high enough.

And then I can say the pull factor into the UK was that the salaries were much higher than in Poland.

So using the sentence stems in pink, I would like you to remember to write in full sentences.

Pause the video now to complete this activity, thinking about the push and the pull factors for Antoni.

Here are the answers.

So this is an example of something that you might have written.

For example, one push factor that made Antoni want to leave Poland was that there were not enough job opportunities.

A second factor was that the salaries were quite low.

One thing Antoni was looking for was more job opportunities and a higher salary.

He also wanted a better life for himself.

Okay, team, that is now the end of today's lesson, and I hope you enjoyed the lesson as much as I did.

You have now learned how migrants can vary as migration depends on push and pull factors, which are different depending on the individual.

Next lesson, we will be learning more about how migration affects people and places.

Bye, everyone.
