Immigrant Projects

The students have been busy exploring specific immigrant groups that have settled in Ohio. We have researched why these groups left their homeland, why they came to Ohio, where they settled in Ohio, and the culture and customs they have contributed to our state. We are working in groups to create projects about these groups: Irish, Amish, Germans, Shakers, and African-Americans. The students have been working hard to create flip books, maps, posters, and plays about our diverse state. I will post pictures when we finish our projects and present them to the class.
