Task:
A fun part about history is to see how something that happened at one time can
affect events at another time. As you know immigration is an ongoing process stilltoday. In this case, you will explore what immigrants went through to get to
America. They arrived at Ellis Island, where they were inspected and had to pass
many tests before they could come to the United States. I will divide you into four
groups of six to learn about some of these experiences. Each member in the
group will be given a number and be required to look up a vocabulary word that
will be used for discussions. Then different steps will be followed in each group to
experience life as an immigrant on Ellis Island. Group work is essential, so make
sure you work together in this journey.
Process:
Each person in the group will need to look up one word individually and then
share its meaning in the discussion area set for your group. As a group, discuss
the meaning of these words and use them throughout this process. Each
particular group will experience a part of Ellis Island and complete its own project.
Group 1 will experience the various places the immigrants had to go and create a
conversation through a live chat. Group 2 will learn about personal stories and
develop a summary through a video chat. Group 3 will learn about the various
nationalities that came to Ellis Island and create a timeline in Google Docs. Group
4 will explore how the immigrants were treated based on their social class and
create a skit using VoiceThread. Each project will reflect a different aspect of what
immigrants went through when arriving at Ellis Island.

Group 1
Step One-
Each person chooses a number below, look up your word and create a definition.
1. Authorities
2. Exclusion
3. Deport
4. Immigration
5. Visa
6. Inspection
Step Two-
Share your definition in the Group 1 discussion area. Discuss how you think it
could relate to immigrants arriving in America.
Step Three- Live Chat
Imagine that you have been transported through time right to Ellis Island. Youhave to pass inspection at baggage and registration, then go through an interview
and get a medical examination to make it to America. Everything you own, you
are carrying. Your group will create a conversation through a live chatabout what
may have taken place while in line at one of these places. Use the vocabulary
terms you just learned to guide you as well as your internet researching skills. This
conversation is between two immigrants standing in line waiting to come to
America, remember there are inspectors watching you.Make sure to includenames and dialogue. What kinds of things are you seeing? Is it family who is
talking or immigrants that do not know each other? Is one being deported?Research and be creative! It must be at least 2 paragraphs long.
Step Four- One person will share conversation in Immigration Discussion area. All
groups will post their final project here. Every person in the group will make a
reply to the post expressing what you felt while researching and writing the
conversation.

Group 2
Step One-
Each person chooses a number below, look up your word and create a definition.
1. Newcomer
2. Ferry
3. Disease
4. Ellis Island
5. Deformity
6. Hardship
Step Two-
Share your definition in the Group 2 discussion area. Discuss how you think it
could relate to immigrants arriving in America.
Step Three- Video Chat
You will read personal stories to learn about real experiences on this journey. This
includes childrens stories as well. When you think about immigrants coming to
America you may first think of adults, but there were children who made their
way as well. You will also be able to read stories of children who have arrived
recently. Compare and contrast the differences and as a group you will video chat
to create a written summary of these experiences. Include similarities and
differences you found from the people. What was interesting to you about the
childrens own personal stories? Can you imagine doing this?
Step Four-
Share your summary to the class by having one person post it in the Immigration
Discussion area. All groups will post their final project here. Every member of the
group will reply to the post to tell the rest of the class what you learned about the
children and what really stuck out to you.

Group 4
Step One-
Each person chooses a number below, look up your word and create a definition.
1. Steerage
2. Social Class
3. Elite
4. Assimilate
5. Verification
6. Equality

Step Three- VoiceThread
You will now explore what it was like to come to America as different socialclasses. Pay attention to how each one was treated and if you think it was fair.
Think about how these social classes are seen today and be prepared to give
some examples. If you have more money will you get better treatment? Using the
words to help guide you create a skit using VoiceThread. Represent what it might
be like for first class, second class, and the steerage class at Ellis Island. Will you
divide your group into the social classes? Will one of you be an inspector?
Step Four-
You will now share your skit with the class by having one person post it in the
Immigration Discussion area. All groups will post their final project here. Every
member of the group must reply to this post and discuss how social classes are
represented today. Role playing allows you to imagine what it was like for some
of these people.

Evaluation:
Students, you will be graded on how well you contributed to your group and how
you worked together online. I am looking for positive attitudes and collaboration.Make sure you manage your time and be respectful to each member of your
groups time. Your research and the quality of your finished products are also
essential. As long as you work hard and do what you are supposed to in
completing this project you will do great! See theRubricfor details.
Conclusion:
Well students it has been a long and hard journey being an immigrant, but you
were amazing! I hope you will remember some of the actual hardships
immigrants went through to get to America. The different groups projects were
to not only show the diversity of what happened, but also how we relate to that
diversity today. Immigration was a huge deal and has made America what it is
today, a melting potof so many different people. People who came to America
did it because they truly believed in it, so remember to always stand up for what
you believe in!
