Word sorts - Immigration

In this interactive word sort activity, pairs of students are tasked with identifying key terms related to the topic of immigration, specifically in the context of the United Kingdom. They are presented with a diverse list of words and phrases, some of which are directly associated with immigration, while others are not. The pairs engage in a discussion to select the six words they believe are most relevant to immigration, and then they circle those words to signify their choices. This exercise encourages critical thinking and collaborative decision-making as students debate and determine which terms are pertinent to the theme of immigration within the UK.

The list includes a variety of terms such as 'Windrush', 'civil war', 'Holocaust', 'prejudice', 'immigration', 'Tudor', 'Emily Pankhurst', 'Greta Thunberg', 'Black Lives Matter', 'Fleur East', 'Oliver Cromwell', and 'migration'. Students are encouraged to draw connections between these words and the broader topic of immigration, considering historical events, social movements, and influential figures. Additionally, they are prompted to reflect on the broader question of how immigration has shaped Britain over the past century. This activity not only enhances vocabulary related to immigration but also serves as a springboard for deeper discussions about the impact of immigration on British society and culture.
