Before your group begins creating their presentation discuss some of the images of the Irish immigrants you have just seen. Find images from your research to place in your presentation. Describe how they make you feel and what the made you think about during your presentation.
After
your presentations the class should discuss the commonalities experienced
by the different immigrant groups. How has the immigration experience
changed from to days of Ellis Island to now? Why
do you think people continue to come knowing that life will be difficult? How
would America be different if the borders were closed to these groups?
How would you characterize American Culture? Do you feel that American culture will always be evolving, or do we have a definitive culture?
