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.
Slides:
Cover Slide
“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.
