# The deadliest of journeys

1. The big escape..

- She knew thousands drowned trying to flee war-torn Libya. Yet Ivie, 25, took her young son on an overcrowded voyage across the sea. Here, she tells Julie McCaffrey her traumatic story…What do you think of when being confronted with such a story or the words migrant crisis? Make a mind map.

2. Fighting for freedom..

- While (listening and) reading answer the questions.

- Who is Chisom?

- What did Ivie's father do for a living?

- Where did Ivie grow up?

- Who is Joseph?

- What did Ivie and her family do in Februari 2011?
- What happened to Ivie in September 2014?

- What did Ivie do on January 9th last year?

- Why was this journey extra difficult for Ivie?

- Who is Nalani?

3. Who do you know or have you heard of is fighting for freedom? For who or what can you fight? Freedom for people? Freedom for animals? Equal rights? Freedom of speech? Write a short personal letter to thank that person and tell him/her that you admire him/her. Make sure you include his/her actions/achievements. Think of a coherent structure for your letter.
