Today, we are going to participate in a small group presentation activity. You will be assigned one of six primary documents related to the experience of immigration into the United States. As a group you will:
 * What We Did In Class**
 * Analyze the document using our "text, context, subtext" protocol.
 * Discuss the following questions:
 * Who is the subject of the document? Individual or group? Name?
 * What is shared about individual and group experiences? What was their life like?
 * How were they treated?
 * Where did they settle? Why there?
 * What does their story tell us about immigration, the U.S., and the industrial age?
