Description

Dig deep into the content of the mid-1800’s while your students explore the essential question “How did immigrants contribute to the growth of the United States” through primary sources and background essays in this immigration activity. Google Slides™ and a Jamboard™ have been included for distance learning.
 
Students will begin this lesson with a hook – listening to the song “Don’t Bite the Hand That’s Feeding You” and “Immigrants – We Get the Job Done” while they analyze the song for historical content and culture. They will then read a background essay and discuss three immigrant groups’ contributions to the United States – the Germans, the Irish and the Chinese while completing Doodle Notes. After they have completed the “Stop and Discuss” questions embedded into the essay, they will analyze different primary sources on three different documents. A structured discussion can then take place with the final question – Which immigrant group contributed the most to the United States?
