Today is Wednesday, a White day. On White days we repeat the lesson from the previous day (Red). White day is the second day in the two day schedule.

Daily Lesson Plan

Objectives

- Identify numbered countries on a map (Europe).
- Describe the primary reasons people emigrate from their country of birth and immigrate to the United States.
- Identify key ways in which migration impacts the United States, immigrants, and the countries left behind.

Procedures

1) Students will be allowed five minutes to study for a pop quiz over the European Map they have completed.
2) Students will take a map quiz. They will have to identify six different countries. The countries they identify are numbered 1 thru 6.
3) Students will work on answers and artifacts for their Immigrant Interview (Geography Alive). These questions revolve around push/pull factors and the affect their immigration/emigration has on the U.S. and their home countries.

Assessment

Map Quiz – (Formative) Students will be assessed on the quiz with a grade ranging from 0 to 100. They will have a summative test over the twenty countries at a later date.
Immigrant Interview – (Formative) During this activity I walked around the room answering questions and making sure students were on task. Students will have one more block to complete this assignment.
