This project expired on April 18, 2010.

I teach 7th and 8th graders History in Utah. I also teach gifted and talented students.

This book will help the students to take a deeper look at immigration and how it has effected America and the people described in it. Immigration is a hot topic in this class, because many of my students are immigrants and have a lot to say about it.

My students needs copies of the book "New kids in Town." I need these books to help the students look further into immigration and see what they can do to make immigration laws change in America. They will each read a story from the book, and then share it with their classmates in a jigsaw format. They will discuss immigration as a group and the challenges that face those who immigrate from other countries. They will talk about how the challenges are the same or different for each individual.

Your donation will ensure that my students learn what they need to about Immigration in America, and help them become informed about what laws are necessary to refine the Immigration laws.
