Write an assignment about US History. I will have photos of the lesson and directions attached, as well as the questions copied right here.
In this lesson we’re going to explore what it was like for immigrants coming to America in the mid-to-late 1800’s. You will need to select a particular immigrant group and write a letter from one of those immigrants back to the family he (or she) left in his home country. Your letter must include the experiences you had traveling to America and what you have seen and experienced as an immigrant living in America. You should list your sources at the end of your letter.
You can choose any immigrant group you wish, including Italians, Irish, Filipinos, Chinese, Japanese, Caribbean, Mexican, and any other immigrant group you discover. Or you can research your own heritage and chose an immigrant group from your own family. You should note when the immigrant group began coming to this country, and for what reasons; what languages the group was likely to speak; what sorts of jobs an immigrant was likely to obtain; and how they would get into the country (by legal or illegal means). Make sure you research well to back up your account.
There are many resources on the web to help you learn about certain immigrant groups. You can search for the group you select and “immigration” in any popular search engine, such as google.com or yahoo.com to find sites. You can also visit sites at the Library of Congress.
Submit your letter home below. Your letter should be written from the perspective of an immigrant during the mid-to-late 1800’s to a family member that did not immigrate with you. You choose the age and gender of the immigrant and the country from which you have immigrated.
Tell your family member about your experiences immigrating and what your life is like in your new country. Your letter needs to be informative, and based on your research of immigration from the country you chose. Include the address you are writing from (it should be a real place where immigrants lived at the time), and the date you are writing the letter. Your letter must be a minimum of 300 words. Don’t forget to cite your sources by copying all of the website addresses (URLs) you used at the end of your letter.
