We started our new unit, People in Communities, this week. Our first lesson focused on why people sometimes move from one community to another (jobs, to be near family, weather preferences, better schools, etc.) and found that many of our own classmates have moved for some of those reasons. The second lesson focused on moving from one country to another, or immigration. We brainstormed what it might be like to move to another country by thinking of things that we might worry about and what kind of community they would find to move into. Students agreed that they would worry about learning a new language, making new friends, and learning laws/customs in a new country. They also thought they would like to like to move to a community where there were at least a few people who could speak English to help them in the new country. This led to a discussion of ethnic communities in the US.
