Immigration in America early 1900s


Just finished revamping my IMMIGRATION powerpoint presentation. It is wordy, but so is the South Carolina support document! Buh-dum-dum!

I always have my kids make T-charts (they know I am obsessed with them) to help them understand the shifts from being an "old" immigrant to "new" immigrant in early 20th century America. Also, for this lesson, I am going to print them a map of Europe and Asia and we will color code Old vs New immigrants by country. Geography skills are totally lacking these days, so I try to add it as much as possible!!

If you would like a copy, please leave your email address in the comment box below! :)

World War II told through COMICS

I created these comics,
based on my SC standards.

I used the iPad app
"COMIC STRIP."

My children were very
engaged and enjoyed the
lesson.

The next day, they were able
to use a similiar app for the
next standard.
