Summary: |
At the insistence of the immigrant grandparents, a family celebrates coming to America and the October birthday of the Statue of Liberty. |
Teaching Ideas: |
This book adds a contemporary view to the large text set on immigration. The story makes a good introduction to family rituals and celebrations. Learners could also write and discuss their family's entry into the country. Web sites on the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island offer opportunities for research and writing: www.nps.gov/stli. Students might be interested in creating a quiz based on the information gathered. |
