Migrants among us

My students were blown away by the facts they learned from reading the biography of Cesar Chavez. I built on this lesson by challenging the students to find out who among the staff or their peers are migrants to the United States of America. As a substitute for individual pictures, and for protection, students suggested the use maps or flags. Using flags won out. So, a Voicethread was done to share what was learned about those who migrated to the USA.

  1. I can relate to the first little girl saying, "I am so scared! I need to start over." I laughed to myself when I heard this because I felt the same way!!!! Cute!
