Human Migration: Unit Overview
Immigrant stories are compelling for internationally-minded children. In working with this unit, I’ve written lessons that ask students to use both fiction and non-fiction texts, including some primary source material (Ellis Island immigrant photographs). Students practice forming relevant questions, learn to use a world atlas, and retell an immigrant story. This is also a winning unit for sports fans because one of the best immigrant tales is about the first female cycling champion! Build on the key concepts and lines of inquiry while expanding information literacy skills with your students using these library integration lessons tied to human emigration and immigration.
