USA Relocation of Immigrants Activity
This site is the location where you will get the information for your fotonovela. The site takes you on a virtual tour of each stop along the journey to and through Ellis Island. You will use Google Slides, and make an 8.5 X 11 slide (portrait OR landscape) and make a visual tour with labeling on each of the images you use, reflecting what is occurring within the picture, as well as participant commentary. The link below will take you to the website where each step is described and explained.
*Goal is to make an informational brochure that explains to prospective immigrants what they will encounter while arriving and proceeding through Ellis Island.
Select 5 states to research, 1 from the northeast, 1 from the southeast, 1 from the midwest, 1 from the southern states, and one from the west.
Which 2 states had the largest difference in population change from 1892 to 1903, and explain the difference?
Which state had the largest % of an individual occupation, and what occupation was it?
What country “sent” the most people for the 5 states you compared? And what was the number?
Which state saw the great increase in immigration into its borders of the 5 you selected? And what was the increase?
