Implementing Common Core Standards (PDF)
200 Word Synopsis
After an in-class conversation on immigrants and the reasons why people immigrate, it was obvious that an in-depth study on this particular populace would be beneficial both for teachers and students. During the conversation, a number of questions about immigrants arose. Such questions included: What is the immigrant experience like? Who immigrates? Once immigrants arrive at their destination, what challenges do they face? In seeking answers to these questions, I have decided to create this unit based from my research and understanding of immigrant experiences. My hope and goals for this unit are twofold: first, students will be equipped to critically think and linguistically function as immigrants to France; and second, students will become more aware of and sensitive towards immigrants and their experiences.
