Immigration Story Project

Immigration Story Research:

Our students are about to embark upon a task that has them researching the story of and immigrant and then writing that story as a finished product.  


The first step in this process is to identify who each student will be writing about.  Below are some of the suggestions for how to identify a good candidate for your child to write about.

1st - If you have a relative or a member of your social circle whom you trust and respect that is an immigrant, then could your child interview and use their story for this project?

2nd - If you have a relative or member of your social circle that you trust and respect who knows someone who was an immigrant, but is no longer living, then could your child interview that person about that immigrant and use that information for this project?

3rd - If you have a relative or a member of your social circle whom you trust and respect that moved a large distance (minimum of changing from at least one US state to another), then could your child interview that person and use their story for this project?

4th - If you have a relative or a member of your social circle whom you trust and respect that knows someone who moved a large distance (minimum of changing from at least one US state to another), then could your child interview that person and use that information for this project?


Please contact me if you do not have anyone who fits any of the above criteria.  If you have more than on option, then the best fit would be for your student to use option 1, with option 4 being the least preferable, but still acceptable option for this project.
