El Education: An Immigrant Experience

As part of a Learning expedition on immigration, 4th grade students in Springfield, Massachusetts, created this series of interview booklets. Students, working together in small groups, interviewed a person who had immigrated to the United States; each student then created his or her own booklet. The people interviewed were from a range of countries including Italy, Ireland, and Vietnam. The books also contain maps and country flags, drafted free-hand by students, glossaries of non-English words, and an About the Author page.
