The memoir explores some history (such as the French occupation of Vietnam and the war between the north and south), but it mostly focuses on her family’s sacrifices and their journey. 

Because the book is a graphic novel, the illustrations are part of the storytelling; it’s important that readers experience both the language and the images to get the whole story. It is also made more complex due to the use of some Vietnamese language. Some contextual knowledge about the Vietnam War is required, but Bui develops background knowledge in the memoir through her parents’ storytelling.]]> 2020-07-10 18:01:33 UTC https://padlet.com/djmusick/bestwecoulddotextset/wish/651946786 Purpose djmusick https://padlet.com/djmusick/bestwecoulddotextset/wish/651946829 Bui’s family are victims of violence, discrimination, and government exploitation. Her parents have to make the impossible decision to leave friends and family behind to keep their children safe. This is an issue that people face all over the world when the place they once called home is no longer safe. Bui explores what it means to be caught between home countries and how growing up as a refugee impacted her relationships with family.]]> 2020-07-10 18:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/djmusick/bestwecoulddotextset/wish/651946829 djmusick https://padlet.com/djmusick/bestwecoulddotextset/wish/651948040 Bui, T.

He provides a powerful discussion of displacement and the lasting impact of the refugee journey. This pairs well with Bui’s graphic memoir as a more direct analysis of the refugee identity. Additionally, Bui begins her paperback edition with an interview with Nguyen, in which both discuss what it was like to grow up as refugees.]]> 2020-07-10 18:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/djmusick/bestwecoulddotextset/wish/651954605 Potential Use djmusick https://padlet.com/djmusick/bestwecoulddotextset/wish/651954648 Use this essay as a bridge from Bui’s refugee journey to other contexts. Since Nguyen compares his experience to that of Syrian refugees, teachers might ask students to research the Syrian civil war and make comparisons to Bui’s family’s experience.

-
Intro: Interviews with organizers, volunteers, and refugees about their day to day experiences
-

-
Act two: Interviews with refugees about the danger of being sent back to Mexico after being processed by US border officials]]> 2020-07-19 23:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/djmusick/bestwecoulddotextset/wish/657925653 Summary djmusick https://padlet.com/djmusick/bestwecoulddotextset/wish/657926603 This podcast was the first broadcast to ever win a Pulitzer prize in the award’s 100+ year history. It examines the US-Mexico border situation, where thousands of refugees, many fleeing from other Latin American countries due to violence and persecution, wait in crude camps for their chance at a new life in the US. The podcast interviews asylum officers, volunteers, organizers, and refugees to learn about their motivations and their experience traveling to and living at the border under the strict new US border policies enacted in 2019.]]> 2020-07-19 23:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/djmusick/bestwecoulddotextset/wish/657926603 Connections djmusick https://padlet.com/djmusick/bestwecoulddotextset/wish/657926716 “The Out Crowd” examines the motivations, hardships, and day-to-day experiences of people who are stuck in these refugee camps. It criticizes the new policies for interviewing asylum-seekers because they place an undue burden of proof on refugees traveling through Mexico with the specific purpose of blocking more entries to the US. This is a very current example of the discrimination faced by refugees, which Bui alludes to in her graphic memoir, and it highlights how perilous the escape journey can be for families trying to protect their children.]]> 2020-07-19 23:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/djmusick/bestwecoulddotextset/wish/657926716 Potential Use djmusick https://padlet.com/djmusick/bestwecoulddotextset/wish/657926828 Use this podcast as a teacher-led tool to discuss US foreign policy and the responsibility that countries have to displaced people. This might be a powerful tool to inform a Socratic seminar or other student dialogue about human rights and the ethics of strict borders. This particular text would also be useful for 11th and 12th grade history curriculum as it examines US policies.

The tone of this text is more light-hearted than previous ones on this list, so it lends itself better to recognizing personal connections among more of our students.

Her journey from North Korea to safety traverses much of the Asian continent and many years.
