 * Explanation:** Students will show and tell examples of foods, words, and activities that they see in daily life that were brought to MA by immigrants.


 * Application:** Students will create a timeline of major groups that immigrated to MA. This will be related to the Boot Mills field trip we attend.


 * Perspective:** Students will compare and contrast reasons for immigration in the past to reasons for immigration in the present.


 * Self-Knowledge:** Students will write, illustrate, or act out how their life would be different if an ancestor had never immigrated to MA.


 * Empathy:** Students will choose a country and time period and journal about the immigration process. They will include what it would be like to be arrive in a new country alone.


 * Interpretation:** Students will order the reasons for immigration from most to least important and use debate to defend the order they chose.
