1. Coming to America
Coming to America was not an easy decision for immigrants. Many spent all
their savings for ship fare. They left family, friends, and home, never to see
them again. The immigrants could take very little with them, as space was
limited on the ships, and they had to pay by the size and weight of their
bundles.
Imagine that you are going to immigrate to America. You can bring with
you only a bag of your possessions that weighs no more than ten pounds.
What would you bring?
What would you need on the trip?
What would you take to remind you of home and family in the old world?
What would you need or want when you got to America?
Write or draw the objects on pieces of paper and place them in a bag to
share with class. Be prepared to explain how you chose the contents of
your bag and why the items are important to bring to America.
