This lesson explores the motivations behind why individuals undertake perilous journeys to the UK. Through a case study involving the mysterious death of a body found by a lorry driver, students will engage in activities that require them to interpret evidence and draw conclusions about immigration. They will also map potential travel routes from Vietnam to the UK, gaining insights into the factors that compel people to leave their home countries. What drives such perilous migrations, and what does this reveal about Vietnam's circumstances?
