the journey book

I'd probably not use it with younger children, especially if their refugee memories are quite recent. I know it's probably not the happiest experience, thinking about what they've gone through, but the discussion of the book, I think, made them realize that they are not alone. Anyway, the students seemed interested as some of it may have echoed their own experiences.
Given that their English proficiency is quite low (absolute beginners), this book was a bit of a challenge to them. Since they're high school students, I found that using this in my ESL class was appropriate.
The texts were a little small as well, so reading together as a group was not as convenient. Even though there were only a couple of sentences per page, it's actually still quite wordy. I do wish the pages were more sturdy, perhaps thicker or with some sort of coating.
When I saw this book, I thought it would be something I could share with them. I have two refugee students in my ESL class.
