Class began with a group challenge. In small groups students tried to make a list of the steps in solving the immigration questions we studied last class.
Next, students completed the following assignment:
Next, students completed the following assignment:
2ND WAVE IMMIGRATION EXERCISE
There was a failed revolution in Germany in 1848.
Revolutions create unrest, as well as change when they are successful. Unrest
is a “push” factor in immigration. Approximately how many immigrants to the
United States came from Germany in 1852, 1854, and 1856?
How do this numbers of immigrants compare to the number
of immigrants from Germany who came in 1845?
It may be helpful to record the steps to follow on the
back of this paper.
After finding these four figures, create a graph in the
space below to show your findings.
Then write an analysis of what this data could be
evidence for on an attached piece of lined paper.
The last project of the day was to create a visual metaphor that responds to the question,
"What do I want America to be?"
