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?

Monday May 18th Day 85
Current Events Monday
Today would have been spent on Current Events and Mapping time for the Europe maps
Objective: Given access to a Chromebook, students will be able to access Google MyMaps App and a Google Drive based Current Events Template from the class Blog. Using the MyMaps app and the template, students will be able to look-up current events and summarize their selected story on the template. In addition, students will be able to use the MyMaps app to plot the location of these current event stories.
Rationale: Students need to utilize the tools taught to them to ensure the learning becomes a part of their skill set. In addition, students need to become geographical aware of the world around them.
Evidence: Filling-in the Current Events template as well as using MyMaps to plot the location of the stories, will demonstrate that students have acquired the basic skills of fulfilling the assignment.

Current Event Monday...the last one on the Middle East. From today til the end of the semester, your Current Events will be from either Asia (because we are doing short unit on Communism and are using Asia (Specifically China) as an example, OR your current events can be from Europe, because that is the last Geography Unit we are doing. The Europe Maps are available on the Geo Resources page on the class website. Use two different political maps for Europe because the cities and countries are so close, I prefer for you to make one Cities map of Europe and one Countries map of Europe and one Physical Map of Europe.

Comparative Religion Project
Today's schedule
Under normal circumstances, today I would go into depth about the History of the Middle East Presentation. The relationship between the Middle East and Europe/West has been strained since WWI, and got even more complicated at the end of WWII and the formation of Israel in 1947 (a decision from the United Nations, which strained relationships between Israel/the West and Arab States)
The story of the Israeli/Palestinian relationship is very complicated and has many differing opinions, I cannot do justice to the many varied events that have occurred since 1947 between these two groups. The information presented in general in nature and focusses on historical events, and does not take or make an option about who is right or wrong.
Textbook - Chapter 23 Section #5 Would be assigned... Page 499 Q's 1-5 (posted on Google Classroom) - due Sunday night.
