 * Teacher Notes:**

This lesson is to be used at or near the end of a unit on Immigration in the United States, 1880 - 1920. In this unit students will have already studied push/pull factors for "New Immigrants", analyzed the passage to America and looked at the inspection process on both Ellis and Angel islands. Students will have completed textbook homework assignments and watched clips from documentaries on immigration. There have been assessments throughout the unit in an attempt to monitor students' learning of this material. This lesson is intended to bring a local connection to the curriculum and go into more depth analyzing immigrant life after arrival in America.
