Today we are going to review and work on writing.
Next week we only have 2 days of school, Monday and Tuesday.
I would like to see what you know about immigration during the time period 1875-1920 so we can move onto the next section of class.
I also want to know if you can use the format we learned to write a 5 paragraph essay.
I will be giving you Monday and Tuesday to do this instead of giving you a test.
You may bring an outline for this assessment, but not a pre-written essay. You will have to write this on paper, in ink.
Here is your question:
What hardships did immigrants face when deciding to emmigrate to the United States during the time period, 1875-1920?
Today I would like you to organize your thoughts on this and write a 1 paragraph chunk essay that answers that question.
This will help you organize your thoughts for Monday.
