Hey guys! Today we finished talking about what the immigrants endured in order to come into this country, including forms of racism. We then began talking about urbanization and the problems that it caused for the United States. We will finish this discussion on Tuesday.
For homework, you are to read "How the Other Half Lives." This primary source written by a newspaper report, Jacob Riis, who was covering the conditions in the tenements. Please read it and write down the sights and sounds he used to describe the tenements.
Also remember that your immigration projects are due on Thursday. The presentations will be on that day. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
Lastly, our test is going to be Monday, October 4. Your study guide will be handed to you on Tuesday. If you have any questions or want to hold a study session with me, just let me know. Have a great day and happy studying!
~Mr. Mazur
