Class today was focused on analyzing the poem "The New Colossus" as a primary source for attitudes towards immigration in the United States in the 1880s.
We discussed the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World" as a tangent.
Students considered the tone of the poem; as well as what it directly states.
We added six (6) vocabulary words to the unit vocabulary list:
immigration
migration
opportunity
displacement
geography
oppression
Finally students began developing a list of positive (pull) and negative (push) reasons that people might move from one place to another.
