The Immigration Journey

Last week we kicked off our immigration study with a flurry. We were inspired by our interest to write our class play on immigration, and are driven to find different stories and perspectives to inform us as we write. Using Primary Sources, we asked questions and analyzed them to discover different perspectives. We've watched documentaries, listened to Hahn Ngo's personal narrative, and read both fiction and non-fiction books in search of the immigrant experience of yesteryears and current day. We've also researched our own family stories, and shared those experiences with our class. While we have much to learn, and many more questions to answer, we are using our current understanding to craft a play based on our historical characters. Our journey is centered around the student question: What are the familes' stories?
