Sorry I am not here. Today your primary goal is to complete your graphic organizer. Please preview the project you will be completing during block one next week.
Agenda:
Turn in composition notebooks.
Folder of Waves of Immigration
Graphic organizer (can also be found on google classroom)
Use the links to complete the graphic organizer with your table groups. You should be able to complete it in one class period. While you can work together, each person should complete their own graphic organizer.
Final project. Please THINK about this over the weekend. Talk to your families. We will be working on it during block one next week.

You will be creating a presentation about your own family’s immigration story. This project will require you to speak with members of your family. Note that status of citizenship is not a point of emphasis, only the story of your genealogy and what brought your family/ancestors to the U.S.

“Family Tree”
- Begin with the date and place of your birth and build a “tree” of ancestors—parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc., until you get to ancestors who crossed the borders into America from another country.
Entrance into the US
- At the point when your ancestor(s) crossed the border, include a detailed history (no personal information, please!) of what was going on in America at that date.
- Include significant events in various categories of history (which wave of immigration did they come during)
- Economics
- Politics
- Society
- Foreign Affairs
- Get artistic! Use music, pictures, and/or maps—make this worthwhile, interesting, and informative.
- Include a bibliography
You will be giving a small presentation. Approximately two minutes to give your presentation to the class.
