The Little Refugee 1


Hello Boys and Girls J

Read the following questions carefully before answering them. You may need to look through the book to help you.

The Little Refugee by Anh Do and Suzanne Do tells a story of Anh Do’s journey from Vietnam after the Vietnam War. He and his family left their country by fishing boat. They experienced extreme heat, storms, hunger, thirst, attack, loneliness and fear before they reached Australia.

a) How might you feel if you were Anh Do? Refer to a part of the story read in podcast one and discuss how you would feel in this situation and why? For example: I would feel unsafe travelling on a boat from one country to another because I’m scared of water and cannot swim. I wouldn’t want anything to happen to the boat while I was at sea.

b) List 5 things that you would take with you if you had to leave Australia and never return.

    Hi everyone

    I have a few comments for the students that have completed their response. Make sure you have a look as these comments as they may also help you.

    I would also like to remind everyone that you need to READ the questions carefully! I would like your response to answer the questions. I SHOULD NOT have posts that talk about how you liked the text.
    Have a go (:

    Brayden: Anh's story is very troubling Brayden, but how might you feel in Anh's situation?

    Emma: Great start. Remember your leaving the country and never returning. Anh left with nothing but the clothes on his back. You have some good examples of human needs.

    Jake: Excellent response Jake, considering your time limit. I agree, Vietnam would be an unsafe place according to Anh's story. What were some other examples that make Vietnam an unsafe place compared to Australia?

    Jaedan: That would be quite a scary experience. You have selected some important items that you would take with you. Selecting a toy is interesting. What toy would you take and why?
