1. Read or watch at least two immigration stories on this website: 

http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/immigration/young_immigrants/index.html

2. Imagine that you are an immigrant to a new country with your family. It can be any country in the world (I suggest you choose a country you know about or would like to live in). Talk about the following:

  • How you came to this new country and why you moved from your home. 
  • Difficulties or challenges you might face in this new country. 
  • What would be different about your life? (school, activities, family life, holidays, etc.)
  • What would you miss about your country? 
  • What would be better about the new country? What would be worse? 
You can make your story in any form you wish, such as a diary, journal, or a narrated story. 

***If you are an immigrant in Taiwan, you can choose to share your story or make up a fictional story about moving to a different country***

Record a video on Flip or write a story in your bubble book (must be one full page).
