Im working with Melissa and we are doing our unit on Immigration. We meet last week to fill out the calendar and the other sheet with essesntial quesitons. We actually filled out both things and i think did an excellent job. We wanted to show the immigration patterns and effects of the early 1900's and then how it relates to current immigration patterns and effects.
Our unit plan has some lecture, but also movies, guest speakers, debates, culture day, and some other things that we felt were educaitonal and fun at the same time. As future history teachers we know that students dont really enjoy history because it is jsut the past but we felt that relating it to today would make it not only more interesting but also easier to understand. I think we are doing very well

Wow, I really like your unit plan, and maybe if I had been in your class, I would have a better appreciation for history, because you related it to today's events. Also, a lot of members of my family (grandparents) immigrated here to America, so views on immigration hit home with me.
