The stated goal of this resource is to provide learners with basic facts about and build empathy for Iraqi refugees. To do so elementary classes develop a plan for how to welcome refugees to their classroom. Middle schoolers read narratives and study images to develop an understanding of why Iraqis fled their homeland during the war that began in 2003. In order to understand the current humanitarian crisis in contemporary Iraq and to make connections between US foreign policy and its effects, high schoolers read personal accounts and watch interviews with refugees who recount their experiences. A very powerful resource.
