Immigration Project - 2009 Name ________________________ Per. __
As we have discussed in class, you are to immigrate into the United States. You are to select a country from which to emigrate and research the conditions in that country at the time to decide why you are leaving. You should also decide where you intend to settle in the United States. Remember that you need to make the situation historically accurate. You are coming between the years 1850 and 1910. For the most important part of the project, you will write a series of letters describing your experiences as an immigrant. There should be at least the 4 following letters:
1. The first should describe why you are leaving your native country as well as what you hope to find in the US. It should also explain who you are, who you are traveling with, and your feeling at the time.
2. The second should describe your journey and entry into the US. Using our study of this process, you should be able to give a detailed description.
3. The third should describe your early life in the US. In this letter, written within the first year, you need to explain where you settled and why you selected that place. It must also describe the conditions you found there. It should also discus what you (or your family) do for a living.
4. The final letter should be written from a point of view several years after your arrival. This letter should discuss the progress you have made and the conditions in the country, as well as your hopes for the future.
You should include information about the history of the time. For example, if you are writing about the year 1901 you might include comments about the assaination of President McKinley.
Each letter should be dated. Since these are personal letters I assume they will be written in an informal style. I do expect, however, that you will proofread the letters and use correct spelling, punctuation, etc. As we study the immigration process there will be additional forms and information which will be created which will need to be included in the final project.
Rather than writing letters you may want to keep a diary. This diary should include the same basic information required in the letters. If you have another idea for doing the project, see me and we will work out the details.
You may earn extra points by including extra elements such as pictures and other artifacts. (Do not use irreplaceable family heirlooms - that is why copiers and scanners were invented.)
The basic project is worth 50 pts. and you may earn up to 4 pts. for extras.
Due dates: Country of origin 1/23 Progress check 1/30 (drafts of 2 letters) Final Project 2/6.
