In an effort to get the initial ideas of the project out, I decided to share a very rough sketch of what the project might look like. As you can see, there are 5 major sections to this project. The formal assignment will be posted on this post and a hard copy will be handed out on Friday.
On Friday, the group will have some computer time to do some preliminary research on some a particular person, group of people, or part of the world where there may be Refugees.

My project was based on a short piece I read about a 19 year old woman named Fatima. She is from Kunduz in Afghanistan (http://www.unhcr.org/561e57649.html).
As I was preparing this post, I came across an excellent page -- created by the UNHCR -- which showcases some of the stories of Refugees from around the world. This could be staring point for your investigations.

The following poster is something I have had since the early 2000s and was today's Item of Interest. I covered up the bottom portion and challenged the groups to "spot the refugee." A few guessed and a few correctly suggested that it was impossible to tell.
