Introduction

Duration: (10 - 15 minutes)

The purpose of this stage is to provide an overview of the topics that will be covered during the lesson, helping students understand what migration is, the reasons why people migrate, and the effects of these movements on both origin and destination areas. This initial understanding is crucial for students to contextualize the information and actively participate in discussions throughout the lesson.

Context

To begin the lesson on migration, it is important to explain that migration is the movement of people from one place to another with the intention of establishing themselves temporarily or permanently in the new location. Migrations can occur within the same country (internal migration) or between countries (international migration). People migrate for various reasons, including the search for better living conditions, job opportunities, education, or even to escape conflicts and natural disasters. Migration is a phenomenon present throughout human history and continues to be a significant reality in today's world.

Curiosities

Did you know that many of our ancestors migrated from other regions or countries to live where we are today? For example, the city of São Paulo is known for being a true cultural mosaic, resulting from the migration of people from various parts of Brazil and the world, such as Italians, Japanese, Northeasterners, and many others. These migratory movements contributed to the cultural diversity we know today.

Development

Duration: (50 - 60 minutes)

Discuss themes such as cultural diversity, economy, infrastructure, and social challenges. 5. Historical Examples of Migration: Present important historical examples of migration, such as the large European migrations to the Americas in the 19th and 20th centuries, the Northeastern migration to the Southeast of Brazil, among others.

Classroom Questions

1. What are the main differences between internal migration and international migration? 2. List three motivations that may lead a person to migrate and explain each one. 3. What are the positive and negative impacts of migration on both origin and destination regions?

Questions Discussion

Duration: (15 - 20 minutes)

The purpose of this stage is to review and consolidate the knowledge acquired by students during the lesson, promoting an in-depth discussion about the topics covered. This stage also aims to engage students through questions and reflections, encouraging them to share personal experiences and think critically about the challenges and benefits of migration.

Discussion

• 📋 What are the main differences between internal migration and international migration?

• Internal migration occurs within the borders of a country, while international migration involves the movement of people between different countries. Internal migration can be motivated by factors such as the search for a job in another city or state, while international migration may involve more complex issues, such as immigration policies and adaptation to new cultures and languages.

• 📋 List three motivations that may lead a person to migrate and explain each one.

• 1. Job Search: Many people migrate in search of better job opportunities and financial conditions. For example, someone may move from a rural area to a big city in search of work.
• 2. Education: The pursuit of better educational opportunities is also a strong motivation. For example, students may move to other cities or countries to attend more prestigious universities.
• 3. Fleeing Conflicts or Natural Disasters: Some people are forced to migrate due to wars, political conflicts, or natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods. These migrants typically seek safety and stability in other regions or countries.

• 📋 What are the positive and negative impacts of migration on both origin and destination regions?

• Positive impacts include cultural diversity, which enriches society with new perspectives, traditions, and cuisines. Migration can also boost the local economy with the arrival of new workers and entrepreneurs. However, negative impacts may include infrastructure overload, such as schools and hospitals, and social challenges like discrimination and xenophobia. In origin regions, the departure of people can result in a loss of skilled labor and a decline in the local economy, but it can also relieve pressure on local resources.

Student Engagement

1. 🤔 Question 1: Do you know any migration stories in your family or community? What was that experience like? 2. 🤔 Question 2: How do you think migration contributes to cultural diversity in our society? 3. 🤔 Question 3: What challenges might a person face when migrating to a new place? How can society help these people integrate? 4. 🤔 Reflection: Think about what your life would be like if you had to migrate to another place. What would be your biggest concerns and hopes?
