Unit 1, Activity C: Personal histories
Goal: to document and discuss the personal histories of participating students.
We all have our own stories to tell. Some of the most interesting are stories about our families. Encourage each of the students to capture his or her personal story, or that of a close relative. Stress to the students that America is a land of many immigrants. Indeed, with the exception of the Native Americans, every American is descended from ancestors who arrived on these shores from a foreign land.
