Ellis Island

Students in Mr. Chatley's 8th Grade Social Studies class took part in
an Ellis Island simulation activity. Complete with real-life personas
of immigrants, each student got to put themselves in the position of a
European immigrant trying to gain passage into the United States. From
medical checkpoints to luggage claim, students got a glimpse into just
a sliver of what life was like when immigrating to America in the
1900's.
