Hey everyone! Today we discussed the transformation of 19th century immigration from immigrants coming from western Europe (1820s-1870s) to those coming from eastern and central Europe (1870s-1920s). We discussed the chronology of immigrant experiences from their departure on steamships until their settlement in ghettos and tenement houses.
For homework, you are the choose a country of origin and write a monologue from an immigrant from that country. Additional research would help you with this assignment. My advice is to research immigrant experiences from your country of origin and experiences of the immigrants within the U.S. You will be graded on creativity, historical accuracy, and ability to use the information that I taught in class. The monologue should be around 2-3 minutes in length if performed.
Have a great night!
