Thursday/ Friday 17-18 October

Classes that had already begun writing from the point of view of a third wave immigrant began by sharing what they had.

Then the class analyzed what kinds of activities physical and mental there could or should be in the story. We reviewed the slide presentation to take note of more setting details.

Next students revised. Most students had to conduct some research (pages 188-189 of History Alive!) were useful so as to include push and pull factors in the story of third wave immigrants.

The current assignment is as follows:
Write a short story from the point of view of a third wave immigrant to the United States. This story should include scenes in at least three of the following settings: original home; travel; Ellis Island; Ellis Island detention; the United States as new home.

We will work on this story in class on Monday.
