Summary and Objective
Students will view photographs and artwork to gather information about the life of local immigrants. They will attempt to identify various ways immigrants were treated by nativists, what jobs immigrants were likely to have and how immigrants would have lived. Students will then put themselves in the place of an immigrant to explore how the immigrant might have felt.
