8th – Immigrant Perception

After examining how immigrants were treated upon arrival, we are now focusing on how immigrants were perceived when they were here (as well as how different groups were perceived).  Students are answering the essential question of how immigrants were viewed in the early 1900’s.

They will be using primary source documents, ranging from the late 1800’s until the mid 1900’s (documents located here).

These documents are sensitive and rather crude.  Keep in mind they are not a reflection on my/own beliefs, but they are an opportunity for our students to analyze how some groups were viewed in a historic context.
