• While reading: Think of what kind of migrants the article speaks of, by using the definitions from UNESCO.
• After reading: Go together in groups of 3-4, where you must discuss what you have read.
• You must determine the type of migrants represented in the article. You need to write your answers in a paper, which you will use in a class discussion.

2) Walk and talk. Go together in groups of two and discuss in English the questions (linked below), while walking around outside.
3) Recapitulation in the Classroom

The classroom will now be transformed into a conference room, where the class will be divided into 4 groups.

• Group 1 - Migrants from Syria. Your task is to explain your circumstances to the other 3 groups and argue for why you should get residence permit in Denmark.
• Group 2 - Will be skeptical towards migrants – Your task is to argue against the sense of giving the migrants residence permit in Denmark.
• Group 3 – You have a socialistic point of view on migrants. Your task is to find arguments for the sense of giving the migrants residence permit in Denmark.
• Group 4 – The Jury. Your task is to maintain peace and order in the conference room. Choose one person from the group who will be the moderator at the conference.

You have 15 minutes to prepare your arguments and speeches.

At the end of the debate, the jury will, on behalf of the arguments, decide whether the migrants will get residence permit in Denmark or not. Remember to justify why you have picked as you have.
