Abstract

Following some theoretical discussion, this article proposes a classroom activity for the last course of sencondary education in which the case of Syrian refugees is dealt with through a play on contemporary Jewish diaspora by Max Aub. The proposed activity brings in a relevant topic and allows for work on human rights, central to sencondary education. At the same time, this activity departs from a play and features dramatizations and debates, which are resources that boost motivation and allow for a more relevant and long-term learning. Lastly, choosing this text pluralizes the literary canon in secondary education.
