Part 6: Migration Gallery Walk

This looks like it would be somewhere around the 1800-1900 by the camera quality.
This looks like when women and children started working at factories because they were
running out of men workers.
DIRECTIONS, PART TWO: ​Finish the letter to Mr. Kracha that has been started for you.

Let us imagine that there has been a large refugee crisis somewhere in the world, and a large
number of refugees/immigrants have been resettled in National City, and Granger will have a large
number of new students. What kind of plan would you suggest to the principal to help deal with these
new students? Let's assume that the quarantine isn't happening…

Dear Mr. Kracha, 

 

It has come to the student body’s attention that, because of the refugee crisis in the nation of Fredonia, many Fredonian refugees 
will be re-settled here in National City, and many Fredonian children will be attending Granger Jr. High. In Mr. Grant’s class, I/we 
have been brainstorming some ideas to make them feel welcome, and I would like to share an idea with you. That idea is to start a 
fundraiser for the refugees since they come with barely anything and it helps them so much to survive and to give them a head start 
in living here causing for new students and a growth in the local economy.
