This unit supports Year 11 English students in exploring the issues associated with people seeking asylum and offshore detention policies through the use of the documentary film "Chasing Asylum" and other real-world articles and pictures. The lessons focus on developing critical thinking, communication, and social action skills through various activities and assessments, including a student-led social action project. The resource encourages students to examine different perspectives and voices surrounding the topic and understand the power of language in shaping attitudes and perceptions.
