Learning Scenario:
|
Throughout the ages, the movement of people has left footprints on our
planet. People move for many reasons: adventure, freedom, economic
advantage, trade and survival. Some immigrants prosper in new environments;
others do not. As the citizenry of the 21st century continues to become
increasingly mobile and interdependent, people and countries face complex
questions and concerns. This unit will increase student knowledge about
issues surrounding immigration and stimulate discussion about ways to
address these issues.
