Formal Assessment Ideas
Immigration Written Reflection
Students will reflect upon and answer the following questions. Convey to students that they are to be thinking about the Immigration online activity's overarching concepts and ideas.
- What are some reasons that people have immigrated to the United States?
- What can we learn about American attitudes toward immigrants from the experiences of immigrants themselves?
- See Discussion Starters under Teaching the Lesson 6–8, for a list of interesting questions to use for the written reflection.
Oral History and Research Paper Writing
Have students publish their stories for the
Oral History Scrapbook or the
Writing Workshop: Research Paper online and post them on your class homepage or publish them in a printed booklet. Encourage students to read one another's submissions.
Students can also present their learning to their peers with a PowerPoint presentation, a poster board, or an oral report for the class.
