Reflection

The Big Think:

• Active Discussion

  • What do immigrants to Ellis Island and Angel Island have in common with present-day immigrants from Central America? 

  • What are their differences?

  • Why is this knowledge important?

  • How does our understanding of these commonalities and differences help us understand present-day immigration?

  • Can we present our findings in such a way that others may understand?

•  Construct Visuals

  • What visualization tools did we use to help ourselves and others construct understanding in our Book 2 Cloud learning experience?

  • Which of these tools were most effective in helping us construct understanding of the sonnet "The New Colossus"?

  • Which of these tools used actually created confusion rather than understanding?

  • Please construct a presentation that can be used to teach others about the similarities and differences between past and present immigration using  the visualization tools that you used successfully during your Book 2 Cloud knowledge construction.
