This is a website that gives ideas for lesson plans, providing articles and references for teachers to use whilst education children.
The section for immigration provides many information on the subjects matter with statistics on U.S. immigration, lessons on immigrant stories and experiences and also examples of citizen tests. The objectives of these lessons is to provide children between the age of 4-18 relevant knowledge of past and present immigration events and procedures, giving the students knowledge of how immigrant families' lives were shaped by the environment in which they lived. Also these lessons give the chance for the children to express their own views of the matter, for example; creating their own neighbourhood layout or landscape.
Having an interactive lesson seems to be what Teacher Vision is trying to achieve, they provide handout quizzes, immigration documents of which the students can see what the immigrants had to provide and go through. As well they provide prints that ask students to provide their own family history, this will hopefully intrigue the children by comparing their own history to the many immigrants of the U.S.There are many interesting references used like that of a 1920's timeline which outlines major events that have had some effect on the immigration throughout America.
This is a website goal is to be every teacher's trusted source of instructional resources, where by any teacher around has easy access to these educational resources. However the underlining of the website is money, and throughout the pages there are many free resources, however some more beneficial have to be paid for, there is also a membership although at a price of $39.99 a year.
