Immigration Share by Olivia P.

Listening to Oral HistoriesMeet an Immigrant - "Ask us anything."Today Deborah and Jake’s fourth grade had a immigrant share of their immigrant studies. The fourth graders have been studying immigrants and tenements for a few months. Some of the things they have done is take field trips to study how immigrants who came to America used to live. One other thing that they did was make graphic novels to help make a story about their immigrant character and how they lived.

At the share all the fourth grade parents came and got to see what they had studied and all of the work they did about immigration. First the parents asked a few questions about our characters which we dressed up as and then we showed them our blog posts that we put pictures on so everyone can see the pictures. The names of our blogs are the names of the fourth grade characters, like Olivia Ps blog is Luca Lee’s immigrant blog because that is the name of her character. Also besides putting pictures on our blog we put some other things on it too. Some of the things the fourth graders put on the blog were their immigrant persona interviews (Jake told us to name it that) and also the recording of our immigrant persona interview because we recorded it and typed it on the computer.

That is mostly what the fourth graders did on their immigrant share. Olivia P thinks that we did this whole immigrant share because we are finishing up our studies of tenements and maybe immigrants, but it is just a guess!
