Immigration: Challenges for New Americans

Titel Immigration: Challenges for New Americans
Beschreibung/Kommentar

The lesson explains the historical context, and presents teaching suggestions as well as links to online resources (USA: LOC 2018).

• Compare and contrast current immigration data to data from an earlier time. Is the total number of
immigrants similar or different from today? Is the percentage of immigrants greater or less than today. How do the data compare?
• Math Activity: Compare data and graph it in two different ways. How does the type of graph chosen affect
the representation of the data?
• Draw a map showing the origins of today’s immigrants. Compare with the 1853 and 1858 maps.
• Identify modern songs about immigration. Compare them to historical songs, such
as “Don’t Bite the Hand That’s Feeding You.”
• The American melting pot has been an image of hope and inclusion for more than a century. How has that image been true or false throughout U.S. history?
