From the movie "The Jazz Singer," Neil Diamond gives one perspective of immigration to the United States.
In contrast, we read from "The Devil's Highway" a story about the loss of human life of those crossing the U.S. / Mexico border.
Below are two pictures of the "Devil's Highway".
We are now assigned a project, to write our own "Coming to America" story. This is a great opportunity for you to discuss with a friend or family member his story about coming to this country. You may also create your own fictional story, or base yours on a true story and add fictional elements.
Dates
9-19 & 9-22 Bonus points New Colossus.
9-25 & 9-29 Coming to America draft of the story due.
