Immigration+Books

You will be working on an independent book study of people who have come to America from different countries, at different time periods and for a variety of reasons. The goal of this unit is for you to gain of deeper understanding of another culture, the desire to have opportunities that many felt only America could offer and to realize what lengths some people went to gain religious freedoms, the rights to have their own property and many other simple freedoms that we take for granted every day.

We will be working on this unit until **Wednesday, April 11th**. On the 11th your book will have to read and you will be required to take an AR test and do a final post on the Wiki. Throughout the book you will be required to make posts to the Wiki to a specific question or asked to write about what is happening in your book. Your grade will be based on your posts and your AR test.

On Thursday, March 29th we will be taking a Virtual Field Trip of Ellis Island where many immigrants came into the United States.

**THE FIRST THING YOU MUST DO IS TELL ME THE TITLE OF YOUR BOOK**!!
