Students can use Census Data to detect the phenomenon of Paper Sons and Daughters.
Questions are included on the handout to help students analyze the data and
apply it to issues that are discussed in this unit.
Students can compare the experiences of recent immigrants with those of the
Chinese. Someone who immigrated to the United States could be invited to
visit the class or students could interview a friend or family member who
is an immigrant.
Possible questions students might ask are:
-
What was involved in immigrating to the United States?
-
What is the
person’s immigration status now?
-
If they are a naturalized citizen,
what was involved in becoming a citizen?
-
Does the person miss their
native country?
-
Did they leave behind family and friends?
-
What do they miss most?
-
What has been the hardest thing about adjusting
to life in the United States?
-
Have they returned to their original country
for visits and vacations?
-
Do they plan on living in the United States
permanently?
-
What do they like about living in the United States?
