Icebreaker – Read through the “Empire Windrush”.
It was an invitation.An invitation to come
"Help re-build the Mother country"It seemed like an opportunity
Jobs for everyoneA better future for our children
Then home againJust a few years
We left the blue skiesThe sun, the sea, the light
And then the shockThe cold and damp
The grey skiesThe cold stares
The cold grey staresThe ship arrived on June 22nd 1948
No band played a welcome492 hopefuls stepped ashore
HopefulsWith our British passports in our hands
We thought the journey had endedIt was just beginning
We came for a few yearsWe stayed a lifetime and more
Hopefuls with our British passports in our handsThey didn't think we were British
And now our children know no otherThis is their home
And ours
Annotate the poem with reasons that people came to

Mark an x on your grid for each roleplay
You must be prepared to explain why you placed it where you did and how they could do better
Now write your own 2 sources. Pick someone at any time at any point in history. In the first one:
1) Give your economic (jobs, business, money) reason for coming
