IMMIGRATION OF 1880-1900 200-400 SUMMARY
Step 1: Identify and read two secondary sources on immigration. One of them should deal with immigration from 1880s-1900s (that can be the textbook). One of them should deal with immigration from 1990s-today.
Step 2: Write a 200-400 word response analyzing the readings. Refer to the rubric for specifics regarding citations, etc.
Use a word processor (like MS Word) to write your response to the following questions:
What did immigration patterns look like in the 1880s-1900s? How did people living in the US respond to these developments?
What have immigration patterns looked like in the past 20 years? How have people living in the US responded?
What are the differences bewteen immigration then and now? Are the responses of Americans similar or different?
