Thursday/ Friday 24/25 October

Class began with a review of and discussion of the positive and negative experiences turn of the century immigrants were likely to have in the United States.

Next Mr. Zartler shared some passages from contemporary novel sharing the story of a Korean family's immigration to the United States that is written in the first person.




Note (the dialogue in this novel is not done according to standard format, and student stories should be).

After this, students worked on writing a scene for their immigrant character once they had arrived in the United States.

Then students read to a partner their stories so far and got feed back according to the criteria for the story.

Typed, complete, rough drafts are due on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. We will use the following rubric to asses the work on Tuesday.
