This document provides information about refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and illegal migrants. It defines refugees as people forced to leave their home country due to harm, and asylum seekers as people who have fled their country and applied for refugee protection.

The document notes facts about the large numbers of refugees worldwide and instructs the reader to complete a KWHL chart, glossary, map, and argument map, and to write a 150-word response.
