1/25 (Red) "Immigration Interviews"

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 answer their D.O.G. question for the day (5 minutes).
2) Students that have not scored a 100% on the prior Map Quizzes (Europe) will take Map Quiz #3. They will have to identify 15 different countries. The countries are identified on the map by a number (1 thru 15).
3) The class will grade and discuss “The Lost Boys of Sudan” Graphic Organizer (0 – 100%)
4) Students will now conduct Immigrant Interviews. The CD accompanying Geography Alive will play as they rotate around the room interviewing different immigrants. The CD plays music from the countries that the immigrants emigrated from. Students will answer questions and show their four artifacts as they immerse themselves in the life of an immigrant including push/pull factors and the affects that migration has on their home country and the United States.
