Lesson Plans - Migration: Why People Move - 1 views

    • Stephanie Beer
       
      This lesson encourages students to use websites such as the US Census Bureau and the UN Population Division in order to research a migration in history of their own selection.

      I would use this lesson in a middle school geography class but it could also be used in a US history class in a unit on immigration.

    This is a great lesson for a middle school geography class that would get students thinking about peoples' motivations for migrating from one place to another. The lesson plan includes objectives and standards as well as the lesson procedure. There are also ideas for extension activities.

About Us | StoryCorps - 1 views

  •  
    Story Corps is an amazing nonprofit project - the goal is to record people's stories and copies are then placed in the Library of Congress. When I worked at the Phillips Collection, StoryCorps came and recorded stories that related to migration because of the Jacob Lawrence Migration Series Exhibition. The stories were very powerful and you could see they way younger generations really responded to hearing the stories of both their own families and strangers. It made the experiences seem so real and connected them to real people.

BBC - History - Bloodlines - 1 views

      This website uses research sources gathered by the BBC. I would use this website to create a family tree - it makes the process interesting and creates an interest in history by making it relatable. This is valuable to social studies teachers, because if this was employed in the classroom it would help students build research skills in a way that interests them.

    This BBC page assists the user in creating a family tree with additional historical research (such as military history, working conditions, and migration)

Geography Action! 2009 -- National Geographic - 6 views

    • Sarah Franquemont
       
      Choose a "Geography Action!" theme at right and be directed to a variety of primary and secondary sources (maps, lesson plans, video and audio resources, and pictures) relating to that theme.
    • Sarah Franquemont
       
      The site contains information on conservation, topography, human migration, and other relevant topics for geography teachers.  A variety of supplemental maps also illustrate these concepts.
    • Sarah Franquemont
       
      Cultural and region specific information is broad, so while this site is valuable for geography teachers, it may not provide detailed enough information for history teachers.

    How might teachers use this site?

Globalization 101 - 1 views

  •  
    Great resource on globalization. I used the issues briefs for my unit plan. They have different collections of articles about various global issues. Supposedly they are academic and opinionless, which is nice because it gives more balance than most of the other stuff you get. :-)
  •  
    Oh. But the lesson plans are for college level so . . . I wouldn't use those. Or you could adapt them. :-)
