Immigration Worksheets

America has been described as a melting pot. It's the place where people come to find freedom, a fresh start, and new opportunities. By immigrating from their homelands, these families have brought with them pieces of their culture, all of which have made the United States the diverse and eclectic country it is. This unit is filled with powerful fiction and non-fiction language arts books, stories, and activities as well as mazes, puzzles, and writing projects for all ages, all designed to help your students understand immigration and the life experiences of immigrants.
