History for the Month of May

Students learned the two early waves of immigration into America during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. They utilized their prior knowledge to brainstorm definitions for immigrant, illegal immigrant, and undocumented immigrant and shared these definitions with classmates, as well as answered questions about immigration facts and statistics. Students participated in class discussions where they had to share and support their opinions using reasons, facts, and examples.

They conducted research using Internet, news and primary sources to learn about the opinions of various groups representing a variety of viewpoints about early immigration in America and its effects. Students learned about current laws/pending legislation related to immigration reform by utilizing primary sources. To conclude the unit, students composed a persuasive essay describing their views about immigration and how it shaped the cultural aspect of early America.
