Are you MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE?

Earn your class the points they deserve!

Dear 2011,

Welcome to DBQ week! You are now seated with your new DBQ team. (If you haven’t earned the DBQ yet, you will hopefully join your team soon!) You will be working very closely with your team this week. Each team has been carefully put together so that each team has a variety of different skills. Some of you are strong writers. Some have excellent memories for history. Some are excellent artists. Some are very good organizers. Some have great SOAPS skills. I have put you in a special group. Your group has been designed so that you and your teammates can help each other do AP level work!

In order for your team to produce quality DBQ’s, your team must have excellent CATS, have a strong sense of urgency (we only have a week to write an AP level essay!), be extremely organized, have excellent nice or neutral skills (not silly), and be able to answer many of your questions as a team.

Teams that demonstrate these qualities will earn bonus points on their project each day and compete for the chance to work on beanbags and pillows instead of at desks. If you choose not to demonstrate these qualities, you will work lose the right to work on the DBQ and do other worksheets by yourself.

A few of our teammates are still working on retakes. As soon as they earn 80% on their objectives and 100% on their DBQ skills, they will join their DBQ team.

Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty

New York CityHarbor

Almost all US citizens have ancestors who immigrated to this country. (The only exceptions are people who are 100% pure Native American.) Some of our ancestors were brought to this country in chains, in the bellies of slave ships. (Others immigrated to this country by choice. An immigrant is any one who moves from one country to another.)

Even though immigrants came to this country from all over the world, most entered the United States through New York City. They arrived by boat, sailing past the statue of liberty and arriving at a place called Ellis Island. At Ellis Island immigrants would register to become American citizens, explain where they had come from, and explain what type of work they hoped to purse in America.

Immigrants traveled thousands of miles. They came to America for many reasons. Some came to escape poverty. Others came so that they could practice their religion freely. Others came because they wanted to be able to vote for their own leaders. All immigrants who entered through Ellis Island wanted a better life for themselves and for their families.

The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island have become symbols for the United States as a place where you can find freedom and create a better life for your family. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, however, attitudes in America toward immigration began to change. Until now, most immigrants had been from Europe and had been Protestant Christians. Now, immigrants were coming from all over the world, and the European immigrants were often Catholic Christians or Jewish. Some Americans welcomed these new immigrants. Others did not.

Questions for your DBQ Team:

1. Where did most immigrants arrive when they came to America? ______

2. What were some of the reasons why immigrants came to the US? ______

3. How did the type of immigrants coming to the US change in the late 1800’s? ______

______
