Monday we will review and watch the documentary, "Every Day is a Holiday," together.
The Midterm Exam will be on Friday, 3/2. It will consist of three (3) essay questions that will cover broad themes of immigration and ethnic history. The questions will require you to include evidence from more than one chapter of the textbook. The questions will take 15 minutes to answer on average.
The questions are
- What are the three myths of American immigration, and what are the real "laws" or tendencies?
- Outline key immigration legislation up to World War II, and explain the what, when, and why of it.
- What factors contribute to the cultural persistence of an ethnic group, and what factors lead to loss of cultural identity/assimilation? (give examples)
Ancestry Project documents are due in class on Monday, 3/12.
Have a great break!
