THE MELTING POT:a global immigration convention

You & 1 or 2 other students will represent 1 of the dominant immigrant ethnicities during the era of the early 20th century in which countries from all over the world came to make

new lives for themselves in America.You’ll need to turn in A: YOUR FLYER & B: YOUR RECIPE by Thursday 2/7 so I can make

double-sided class copies for everyone. Both A & B must each be 1-sided. Make the recipe large enough to read clearly!

We will have our 1st Cultural Experience Friday, 2/8. We’ll set up the room as a global convention where you can see, touch, taste & experience cultures of the world. Your group is

responsible for the following:

- As a group, create ONE SINGLE-SIDED “FLYER” that provides a glimpse of your country. You must cover each requirement including location on a small world map. Explanations are in

dotted boxes on the template – you’ll want to delete those from your version. Use my model as a template for your own country of emigration (back). You can find the template on my website.

- As a group, create & bring to class ONE DISH or FOOD PLATTER that is specific in origin to your assigned country. Do not make something that requires

refrigeration or a lot of maintenance. Do not use nuts (food allergies). You must include the recipe. Don’t forget to include a photo of the end result.

Choose wisely – you’ll need to make enough for 30 people to sample!
