BRING PERMISSION SLIPS!

HW due Wed., 4/14

Make a "working bibliography" of sources you have either used or acquired so far for your immigration research project.

Type up the bibliography; you'll add to it as your project progresses.

Use "Bib Me" online as a tool to do this perfectly.

Note that some of these sources are 1) a book with one author, 2) a book with two or three authors, 3) a book with an editor, 4) websites, and 5) personal interviews.

You could also use the Tenement Museum website. It can be the source for any of the note cards from the walking tour and the tenement tour. The site itself also has good information.


Sources Collected:
1. AMERICAN JOURNEY
2. DO PEOPLE GROW ON FAMILY TREES?
3. CROSSING THE BLVD
4. VOICES OF AMERICA
5. Websites: CROSSING THE BLV, www.tenement.org
6. Personal interview(s) with buddy(ies)

Handwritten or typed is fine. Make it serious and thoughtful, and ready to turn in at 10:45 so I can read it by our 1:00 class with Mr. McWhorter.

Due Monday, 4/12:

Write Chapter One of your Immigration Paper (rough draft of course).

I suggest that you have a paragraph about 1) immigration in general (maybe two paragraphs), 2) another one or two about Queens, 3) another one or two paragraphs about your buddy, and 4) one or two paragraphs about your Crossing the Boulevard character.

I will give you back the book tomorrow. You can use it for info. about the CTB character, and also for info. about immigration in general and Queens. You do not have to turn in any note cards, but you should use your interview booklet.
