Class today began by considering two metaphors for the United States:
Students recorded the pros and cons of each idea of what a country should be.
Next the class worked with graphs and tables presenting data on mid-nineteenth century immigration.
We practiced combining data from different sources to extrapolate missing information. We found numbers (green) to fill in the missing information suggested from the list written in black to estimate the number of Irish immigrants entering the United States in the 1940s.
In class on Thursday and Friday we will consider the question: "What do I want America to be?"
