‘Refugee Boy’ by Benjamin Zephaniah: Should Alem be granted asylum in England?
We have been studying ‘Refugee boy’ by Benjamin Zephaniah in literacy and have just discovered that Alem, the key character in the story, has been denied his application for asylum in England. He now faces court where he will be questioned.
Focus for literacy: To create a persuasive speech in the role of Alem
Purpose: To persuade the court to reconsider their decision and grant Alem asylum in England.
Thinks to consider: Why should Alem be granted asylum in England?
Why is it not safe for him to return home?
Why should be remain in England? (Think about all the positive things Alem has achieved since arriving in England eg friendships, academic performance, the Fitzgerald family etc)
Remember those persuasive devices!
