We are a part of a country that greatly influences the world; that bears with it a responsibility to know and understand our past and how that past continues to shape our present, and our future. Over the course of this year, we will listen to voices of the past. We will examine their thoughts on what it means to be an American and think about how that definition has grown and changed over time, and how it has remained constant.

Immigration and Urbanization
In our next unit, we will be doing a short research project on the impact of policies and reforms that arose due to the changes in industry, immigration, urbanization, and the labor force. For today, you should get familiar with two of those topics by completing this webquest that will take you to the Library of Congress' exhibit on immigration and allow you to explore the famous photographs of Jacob Riis taken to document the immigrant experience in cities in the early 20th Century.
