The Task

  


    


        From 1860 - 1930 millions of people made the treaccherous journey from their homeland to the United States in hopes of a better life.  Some made the trip by choice while others were forced to because of some problem threatening their lives at home.  Your task is to assume the role of a person from a nation of your choice and write a first person historical narrative describing your journey to this "new country", and you will also present this story to the class.  meaning you will create a character and tell their story based on your new knowledge found during the research process.  You will gain a deeper understanding of why people made the trip, the hardships that were experienced, and eventually what is was like to live in the United States and be an American.  Below are the aspects of the journey that you will need to focus on throughout this webquest:

*As you move onto the actual process you must also email me a short reflection on what you've learned so far, and also what sources you've looked at to that particular point.  Each email will be counted towards your final unit grade.  My address is located on the Introduction page.
