Refugee Reading Series: Somalia

This is the third installment in the Reading Refugee series. For those of you just tuning in, for this reading series, I'll be creating a Multimedia Text Set for each country affected by the recent executive order. These are 100% free and I'll publish one every few days until I've covered all 7 countries. These are designed for upper elementary and middle school students. Please see information below on how to use this with your students. Access the multimedia text set by clicking on the link or image below.

If you do not have a Google Account (students do not need Google Accounts):

  4. Click the class you want to assign the document to.
  5. At the bottom, hover over "Add" and then click "Create assignment".
  6. Enter the title and any instructions. Attach the document via the drive symbol and select "students can view".
  7. Click assign.
If you have a Google Account but not Google Classroom:
  1. Login to your Google account
  2. Auto copy the file to your drive by clicking here
  3. In your copy of the document, click the blue "send" button
  4. Click Get shareable link in the top right of the "Share with others" box.
  5. To choose whether a person can view, comment, or edit the file, click the Down arrow next to "Anyone with the link" and choose "Anyone with the link can view" .
  6. A file link will be copied to your clipboard. Paste the link in an email or anywhere you want to share it. You can also choose to email directly to your students.
