1.  For the first part of this assignment, go to the link below and open the immigration map.  Then, choose 4 countries from the drop down menu.  Click 4 different years on the timeline and determine if the country's immigration rate increased or decreased at each year.  For each country, record the following on a chart:  A.   Name; B.  Year; C.  Indicate if the immigration increased or decreased.  If you see "Data Not Available for This Year" for several years, you should choose a different country.

2.  Now, for part 2 of this assignment, you are going to create and write a 6-paraphraph story for an immigrant who is coming through Ellis Island to start a new life in the United States.  Choose one of the countries that you investigated on the immigration map.  Create a character from that country, and introduce him/her in your first paragraph.  Include his/her home country, name, age, physical description, and some information about his/her family, work or educational background, a little bit about the voyage to the US, and your  expectations for your new life in America.  

 

Now you will use the following web site to help you write the next 4 paragraphs of your story.  Go to the web site and watch each of the 4 videos listed below.  After watching each one, stop and use the information from the video to help you answer the indicated questions in a paragraph that continues your immigrant character's story.  Please watch the videos and write the paragraphs in the order shown below.  Ultimately, you will have a 6-paragraph story about your character's story of immigration.  In your final paragraph, describe the life you went on to live in America.

 

We will work on this in class today (3/13), and on Monday (3/19), the rest is to be finished for homework.  It is due on Tuesday, March 20.

 Electoral College Map:  http://www.270towin.com

• Record all 2012 electoral votes in each state's outline in black (pen or pencil)
  
• Use the drop down menu to look at the maps for these years:  2008, 1996, 1988, and 1980.  Record the year and the electoral college vote outcome for each of these years for these 7 states:  PA, CA, TX, IL, OH, FL, NY.  If the state was won by the republicans, record the number in red.  If the state was won by the democrats, record the number in blue.  Where there is room in the state's outline, record it there.  If there is not enough room to record all of the years and votes within the outline, record around the edge nearby and draw a line linking the list to the state.  OR you may put this information in chart form if you  prefer.
  
• Analyze the data you have recorded, and on the back of the map, make 3 logical observations about it and about the election outcomes.
