Activity Overview

Throughout history, immigrants have faced many challenges in order to start a new life in a new country. Some of these remain the same even today. In this activity, students will research and explore these challenges and create a 3 cell spider map illustrating what they have learned. Teachers can choose to have students focus on historical challenges, or allow them to explore modern ones. Though this activity is meant to focus on U.S. immigration, students may also want to investigate whether these challenges are the same for all countries.
