=Day 2 - July 7= What is life like like for people who immigrate? What are the effects of immigration? How does immigration affect the growth of cities? How does immigration spur urban reform? How have places changed over time as a result of immigration?
 * //__Objectives:__//** SWBAT answer:

1. (Assuming it's the 1900s) It is hard and challenging since there were many immigrants coming, and the places they lived in were often tenements since they were poor or couldn't bring much things with them when they came (or they were perhaps uneducated). 2. Well it will increase the overall population, and if there are many coming, cities will grow, and cultural/ethnic diversity will increase. 3. The more immigrants means that cities will be overpopulated so they make the city larger to hold more people. 4. Since the immigrants were given poor conditions, they maybe done some protesting and some Americans helped with the defending of the immigrants, laws were eventually created that changed urban life for the better. 5. Different immigrants with religion has helped make churches and maybe some memorials.

a.. What is a tenement house? b.. How did immigration lead to the creation of tenement housing? c. What is life like for new immigrants in the early 1900's? What is life like in tenement housing? d. What potential obstacles can you for see for recently arrived immigrants in the early 1900s?

a.A tenement house is a run-down and often overcrowded apartment house. b.The influx of immigrations caused a need for places for them to live in, which became tenement housing. c.It was sort of hard, life was also sort of brought a new experience for the immigrants as there were new things to do. Life in a tenement was often dirty and cramped since it was sort of a small apartment, clothes and other possessions were disorganized. d.If they were poor, they'll face a challenge of trying to get education for their children, if uneducated, faced a problem of finding a good job, if sick, they may not get to live in America.

=Day 3 - July 9= __**//Content objective://**__ SWBAT: -explain/describe problems happening along the Mexican Border. -analyze the new Arizona Law and provide evidence to support or oppose this law. __**//Technology objectives://**__ SWBAT: -create a voicethread



Summary: There is a lot happening at the border, immigrants (from Mexico) are trying to get across to the U.S.A., the border police are making sure that they capture immigrants trying to cross the border illegally, one story involved using a gun and use it to pop the tires but hurt the immigrant, another story says that the border police's loved ones are getting hurt or killed by the immigrants who cross successfully, and one had an American helping out immigrants crossed but was betrayed by them.

(We were not assigned to create a voicethread, but to respond to one: Re: VoiceThread )

=Day 4= 1. Choose one of the immigration issues you learned about in the "Immigration Today" lesson with Mrs. DeSantis. You wil be creating a Voicethread (combination of visuals and audio) to comment on one of these issues.

2. Research your topic via the internet. Find at least three websites as resources for your information and images. You must add these links to your wiki page as "resources used" for your final project. Find a minimum of four images that represent immigration issues today. Use voicethread.com to place these images in a "thread". Once you have selected and added your images, you will create a "script" in your digital notebook. DO NOT record your voice until you have a scipt written out in your notebook!

3. For each image, you should...
 * describe what is going on in the image/what issue it represents
 * explain any recent news stories that pertain to the issues
 * tell why, in your opinion, it is an important issue
 * analyze what could be done to solve whatever the issue is (come up with a solution)

4. Once you have brainstormed (and written them in your digital notebook) answers to these prompts, you may go back to voicethread to record your voice/your partner's voice explaining/analyzing the images that you chose.

5. Link the voicethread to your wiki page and invite classmates/teachers to respond to your thread!
