Push & Pull Factors - Immigration Lesson 3
2
Big Ideas Both geographers and historians have studied how and why people have immigrated to the United States. Push factors such as lack of freedom, a shortage of jobs, war, famine, or high costs of living caused people to leave their home countries. Pull factors such as economic opportunities, freedom, family, or culture of the region encouraged people to immigrate to the United States. Not everybody freely chose to immigrate to the United States. Under the system of slavery, Africans were forced to immigrate.

Analyzing Photographs What I’m about to pass out to you are photographs of immigrants. These photographs can be a useful tool for learning more about immigration. Each island will receive 2 copies of these photographs. Carefully look at the photographs and write some possible conclusions about immigration in the early 1900s.

What Did People Bring With Them? Using the Elmo, we are going to read about what some immigrants brought with them. An inspector that worked on Ellis Island wrote the descriptions that you are about to read. Afterwards, we are going to compare and contrast what the two immigrants brough.

Immigrant Artifacts Another way to explore the kinds of things immigrants brought with them is to analyze the artifacts themselves. Work together in groups of 3 and identify each object and come up with a reason as to why an immigrant would take the object with them to the United States.
