Model
Ask children: What are the people in the photo doing? (moving to America, carrying bags and suitcases). How can you tell this photo is from long ago? (people dress differently, women all wear dresses, men wear hats). Ask children: Has someone in your family come to America from another country? (answers will vary). Say: People come to America for many reasons. What are some reasons that a person might come to America? (to find a better job, to go to a different school, to become an American citizen).
Apply
Have children play the games that follow. Have them discuss with their partner the different topics that appear during the Talk About It feature. After the first game, ask children to talk about what they know about the different countries they see on screen and help the children learn more about the countries they are interested in. After the second game, have them discuss what they think would be different and the same for a person moving to a new country.
Close
Ask children: What would be the hardest thing about moving to a new country? Explain. Summarize for children that many of us came to America a long time ago or recently. Some of us might be Native Americans. Native Americans were the first people to live in America. Others of us have ancestors who came to America long ago. Others of us came to America recently. Encourage children to think about what it would be like to leave a place that you have lived your whole life.
