Define the experience of your family, or a particular family ancestor(s), or someone(s) whose experience you are familiar with, and portray the immigration experience(s) coming from their native homeland, crossing to the U.S, the process of “assimilation”, and what to you was the eventual outcome of this experience(s).

Coming to America

Define the experience of your family, or a particular family ancestor(s), or someone(s) whose experience you are familiar with, and portray the immigration experience(s) coming from their native homeland, crossing to the U.S, the process of “assimilation”, and what to you was the eventual outcome of this experience(s).

Next, relate that experience to several of the post-July 17th website testimonies you select to use. You may also use the exhibits at the N.Y. City Tenement Museum website if you wish.

As well, the Museum of Work and Culture exhibits from the field trip, if you were able to attend the field trip. You may also use the interpretation of the “Fortune 500- New American Economy” article of last week.
