Short Session Description (one line):  Our study of American immigration leads to a better understanding of the lives of people from all over the world not only in the past, but also in the present.

Full Session Description (as long as you would like):  Utilizing a project-based learning scenario, my class studied immigration into the United States.  During the 4 week unit, they were assigned to be either an immigrant or an immigration official.  Over the course of the unit, the students conducted research on immigration patterns, the lives immigrants had, and more, all from the perspective of the country they were from.  Join this session to hear more about the setup, the process in action, and to discuss ways that this idea could be used in your classroom.
