Lesson video

Hi everyone, my name is Miss Dhillon and today we are starting, a new unit on migration.

My turn, your turn, migration.

Good job.

And in today's lesson, we will be exploring the question.

What is migration? This is what the structure of our lesson, is going to look like today.

First, we're going to start with the star words, then we will think about the question, what is migration? Then we will move on to looking at different types of migration.

Then, we will look at global migration trends.

Then we will look at the impact of migration on The UK population, and finally we're going to think about where do migrants go? In this lesson, you will need a piece of paper or a book, a pen or pencil and your brain as you will be doing a lots of new learning in today's lesson.

On the screen, you can see, the star words for today's lesson.

I will be going through the definitions as we move through the lesson.

But for now, let's start by saying them out loud, using my turn, your turn.

Migration, migrants, emigrant, immigration, national, international, forced, voluntary, temporary, permanent.

Well done team.

Today we have lots of new keywords as we are starting a new unit.

To start the lesson, we will recap your knowledge of the seven continents.

I would like you to label the seven continents, which are shown on the map in the pink rectangles.

You can write these down, on your piece of paper or on your book using bullet points.

Remember, there are seven.

Pause the video now to complete this task.

Okay team, so on the screen, you can now see the seven continents.

Make sure you check your answers.

Which ones did you get correct and which ones did you maybe forget about? I will be testing you on these next lesson.

So let's endeavour to get all seven continents correct.

Let's start by defining what migration is.

Migration is the movement of people from one place to another place.

Say the definition out loud.

Good job, migration is the movement of people from one place to another place.

Good job.

Pause the video now to complete the task on the screen.

Here is the answer.

Did you remember the definition of migration correctly? Well done if you did, you have made a great start to today's lesson.

We will now, look at the six different types of migration.

Some people just move from one region to another region within the same country.

This is an example of national migration.

My turn, your turn, national migration.

Good job.

For example, if someone was living in London, but they moved to live in Manchester, which is further north, this would be example of National migration because it is within the same country.

The second type of migration is international migration.

My turn, your turn, international migration.

Good job.

And international migration is the movement from one country to another country.

For example, if a person moved from London, which is in The UK or The United Kingdom, and they moved all the way to Madrid, which is in Spain, this would be International migration, because they're going from one country, The United Kingdom to another country to Spain.

Pause the video now, to complete the task on the screen.

Did you match those up correctly? High five, awesome work team.

You now understand the difference between national and international migration.

Now let's continue looking, at the different types of migration.

So, so far we have national and international migration.

On the screen, you can see we are now going to look at forced migration.

Some migrations are forced, which means that people moving, these are called the migrants, they have no choice but to migrate.

And this can sometimes be for example, if there is a war going on in their own country.

The other type is voluntary migration.

This means, that migrants have chosen to move from one place to another, for example, if they want to work in a different country.

So the main difference, is forced migration, they don't have a choice and in voluntary migration, they choose to migrate.

We are now going to look at permanent migration.

Migrations can be a long term decision, where the migrant intends on remaining, in the host country.

The host country is where the migrant has decided to move to.

This is known as permanent migration because the migrant doesn't have any intentions on going back to the source country, which is the country they came from.

Migrations can also be temporary, where the migrant intends on returning, to the source country, after a certain period of time.

The source country is where he or she originally comes from.

So to summarise, migration can be permanent, for long period of time, or it could be temporary and just for a short period of time, where the migrant then goes back to the source country.

Pause the video now to complete the task on the screen.

Match up the different definitions of migration with the correct key words.

Here are the answers.

Did you manage to match them up correctly? Well done, if you did.

Let's just go through them to summarise.

Forced migration, is when the migrant has no choice.

Permanent migration, is when, the migrant doesn't have any intentions to return to the source country.

Voluntary migration, is when the migrant has a choice.

And finally, temporary migration, is when the migrant intents on going back to the source country after a period of time.

Let's have a look more closely at the vocabulary associated with migration.

Emigrant is a term used to describe a migrant who is leaving their source country or their home country, whilst immigrant refers to the migrant arriving in the host country.

People who leave their country, are said to emigrate.

So the main difference between emigrant and immigrant, is a emigrant is leaving the source country, immigrant is the migrant arriving in the host country.

So you arrive in the host country and you leave the, good, the source country.

Finally, immigration refers to the movement of people into a country.

So when you are talking about immigration of a country, we're talking about the movement of people in to the country.

Those key words are really important because understanding them, makes understanding migration, a little bit easier.

So now the next task, I would like you to choose the correct words to complete the sentences.

Pause the video now, to complete this task.

Here are the answers.

Did you get those correct? Well done, you are showing that you're really concentrating and taking in all the new information, thumbs up for you.

We are now going to be looking at the global trends of migration.

So we can better, understand what is happening on a global level.

So, let's read this extract that comes from The UN International Migration report.

The current global estimate is that, there are around 272 million, international migrants in the world, in 2019, which equates to 3.

5% of the global population.

I would now like you to answer this question on the screen.

Based on the information you have just read.

How many international migrants were there, in the world in 2019? In purple, you can see a sentence stem.

I would like you to use the sentence stem to write your answer in full sentences.

Pause the video now, to complete this task.

Here is the answer.

Did you manage to retrieve these facts from the text? Well done, if you did.

Let's continue reading the extract that comes from The UN International Migration report.

You can read this out loud with me.

A first important point to note is that, this is a very small minority of the world's population, meaning that staying within one's country of birth, overwhelmingly remains the norm.

When it says remains the norm, that means that is what is normal.

So this is telling us, that, only a small proportion, of the world's population migrates.

Most people and most of the world's population, actually remains in the country in which they were born.

I would now like you to answer this question, based on the information you've just read.

Remember to use the sentence stem to write in full sentences.

Pause the video now to complete this task.

Here is the answer.

Okay, so this part of The UN report, is really important because some people think lots of people leave their country and move to another country.

But this is not true.

This is only a small proportion.

Most people do actually stay in the country in which they were born.

Let's now read the final part of the extract that comes from The UN International Migration report.

Read out loud with me.

The great majority of people, do not migrate across borders, much larger numbers migrate within countries, an estimated 740 million internal migrants in 2009.

Now, what this tells us, is that people are more likely to move to a different place within the country, than to move to a completely different country altogether.

This is really important because a lot of people think people move from country to country, and that's the norm.

But actually, the UN report tells us, that people are more likely, to move within their country, rather than across to a new country.

I would now like you to answer the question on the screen.

Use your sentence stem to help you write your answer.

Pause the video now.

Here is the answer.

So this is really important because the UN report tells us, that there is more national migration than there is international migration.

We are now going to look at the UK as a case study to see how migration has impacted The UK's population.

This source that you can see on the screen, is from the IPPR which stands for The Institute for Public Policy Research.

In the red circle, you can see the key.

Each colour represents an estimate of how many migrants there are in the local population per 1000 people.

This map is showing population density.

So the darker the colour, the higher the population.

Can you point to an area that has a high number of migrants? Remember, you're looking for the darker colours.

Well done, if you pointed to any of these locations.

We can see there's a higher density of migrants in the East of England and in parts of Scotland, for example.

Now, can you point to any areas that have a low number of migrants? Remember this time, you're looking for the lighter colours.

Well done, if you pointed to any of these locations.

As we can see, Wales has a lower density of migrants, and so does the North East of England.

We are now going to look at another graph.

This time it's a bar graph.

The source on the screen, comes from the UN International Migration report.

It shows how many international migrants, countries have hosted.

We will be looking at the data for 2019, which is in the dark blue.

This is circled in red.

Now looking at the bar graphs, the further right, the bar graph goes, or the longer it is, the greater the number of people that country has hosted in its millions.

I would now like you to think about this question as you look at the graph.

Which geographic region, has hosted, the most number of migrants in 2019? So which country has hosted, the most number of migrants in millions in 2019? Point to it on the bar graph.

Did you point to Asia and Europe? Well done, if you did.

In 2019, Europe and Asia, each hosted around 82 million and 84 million international migrants.

I would now like you to pause the video, to complete the task on the screen.

Here is the answers.

You should have said a and d.

It's now the end of the lesson.

If you would like to share your work with Oak National, then please ask your parent or carer to share your work on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter tagging @OakNational and #LearnwithOak.

I hope you enjoy today's lesson as much as I did, and I hope you found it interesting to study what migration is and how it can have an impact on a country's population.

Next lesson we will be learning, more about migrants and how they vary.

Bye everyone.
