Content Objectives
My unit will be a cross-curricular unit that will encompass Social Studies, English Language Arts, and Writing. In this unit my students will be learning about Julia Alvarez, Edwidge Danticat, Trevor Noah, Yiochiro Nambu, Mario Jose Molina-Pasquel Henriquez and Maame Biney, while exploring the impacts they have had on American History. This unit will have student’s exploring their own family’s immigration story, their own immigration story, or a tradition that their family has based off of who they are based around their family. They will need to be able to apply the skills taught during reading to complete activities based off of the unit, while incorporating their knowledge to complete the activities and writing assignments. My students will listen to stories about the listed immigrants above and other fictional and non-fictional immigration stories during reading and social studies, as well as listening to their peer’s family immigration stories. During social studies they will complete hands on activities to connect with the readings about these immigrants. My students will also be able to share their story or their family’s immigration story through writing a narrative. Students, who do not have background knowledge or access to their family’s immigration story, will complete an activity about who they are based off of their family and the traditions they have. They will then be able to write an informational text, applying all of the information they have learned and gathered about the listed immigrants. At the end of the unit, they will present what they have learned about their own or their family’s immigration story.
