Pbs Teachers: Well Founded Fear (Lesson Plans About Asylum Seekers)

Curated by ACT

Two lesson plans about asylum seekers, one of which is based on the case of the SS St. Louis, an ocean liner of Jewish refugees seeking asylum from Nazi persecution in 1939. The lessons let students discuss how U.S. immigration and refugee policy has evolved and compare current asylum policy with the historical evolution of that practice. Requires access to the PBS documentary "Well-founded Fear."
