Ellis Island Classroom Simulation - 2016-2017
Ellis Island Simulations from previous years:
Immigration
We will be discussing immigration from now until winter break. It is important for the students to understand how the United States came to be. Since 4th grade focuses a lot on the regions of North America, we must first understand how it all came to be. Students should have a firm understanding of the basics from their Native American Unit. Now we will connect the pieces into the later 1800's and early 1900's to see how many people from all over the world came to the United States.
Overview:
The focus for students in this age group is on comparing different immigration experiences. Students will compare and contrast the stories of immigrants arriving in the past to recent immigrants. They will also analyze the differences between immigrants arriving through Ellis Island versus Angel Island.
Objectives:
- Use web technology to access immigration history
- Develop an understanding of the concept of immigration
- Develop oral history writing skills, including note-taking and conducting an interview
- Reading for detail
- Use real-world examples as models for writing an oral history
- Compare and contrast immigration stories of the past with the present
- Compare and contrast immigration through Ellis Island and Ange Island\
- Use technology to explore a historical place and event
- Use graphs and facts to respond to several research-based questions and activities
