You will be assigned to be a member of a family immigrating to America! You will have many activities to complete. You will take on the life of an immigrant family. As a “family” you will learn information about your life, family, and the issues that prompted you to leave your country.
You will receive your COMING TO AMERICA packet which has several activities you must do. Your packet will be available through our Google Research Classroom.
You will:
Investigate the journey of an immigrant group, including what the push and pull factors were that lead you to leave your homeland.
Research the obstacles you encountered traveling and upon your arrival at Ellis Island.
Create a scrapbook and/or diary of your experiences.
Participate in our VIRTUAL IMMIGRATION SIMULATION.
