The purpose of this lesson is to help students address the question, “To what extent was US society tolerant?” Through a series of student led tasks and fits into a bigger picture of a 1920s USA Depth Study.
Hook: Students enter with dictionaries on their desks and are challenged to define ‘Immigrant’ or ‘Immigration’. Teacher takes feedback and introduces lesson title / outcomes. Students then watch an introductory video (Embedded) with an option to further define that ‘intolerant’ means.
Starter: students are provided with a worksheet about the concerns US society had about immigrants in the 1920s. Students are challenged to categories these into – social – economic – political reasons before teacher takes feedback with a WAGGOL on the board.
Main: Teacher shows another video (Embedded) and students are challenged to identify all the problems that they faced. Students each receive an ‘immigration experience’ sheet and one information sheet per table. Students to summarize. Circulate the class and select a student on each table who seems to have really grasped the topic. These students are to then stay behind at their table whilst the rest of the class circulate and spend 5 minutes each being peer taught about the immigration topic by the student who was selected to stay behind. Students can then summarize the experience of immigrants at this time in either a freeze frame or in a written task as a plenary.
I have included additional information / videos in the presentation which could be used by the teacher to further support this task.
Separate task for more able: I have included a work sheet, information sheet / video which more able students could be set as a separate task encouraging them to consider Native Americans and their experience provided the fact they were treated almost the same as immigrants despite being natives.
A source evaluation homework sheet is also included. All videos and sound are embedded into the PP with links provided.
