Before your group begins creating their presentation discuss some of the images of the Italian 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 are completed discuss some of 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?
