NETS addressed with this activity: NETS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

The Immigration Day activities give the students an authentic, real world experience of the process that many immigrants underwent upon arriving in the United States.

Morning Activities:

Opening of the Day: Some students begin the day by being marked with chalk X’s on their arms or backs on their way into the classroom. Students with X’s must visit the Health Inspector and answer questions. After answering the questions and being approved for entrance, they must have their hands stamped to show the immigration official at the classroom door.

Teachers become "Immigration officials." They randomly mark about 1 out of 5 students with X's. One teacher takes on the role of Health Inspector and questions each student marked with an X by asking:
 * How are you feeling today?
 * Any signs of fever? Coughing?
 * Have you been around anyone who is sick?
 * What country are you coming from?
 * Have you been exposed to Smallpox? Mumps? Measles? Tuberculosis? When questions have been answered satisfactorily, students receive a hand stamp which they show to the "Immigration Official" at the classroom door to gain admittance.

Students have two hours to do the morning activities and fill out the paperwork necessary to meet with an Immigration official. By the end of the first morning session, students will need to show the Immigration Official:
 * Passport Form (Form A [[file:Passport Form.pdf]]) with picture. Students must fill out the form, have their digital picture taken, printed, and attached to form.
 * Immigrant Health Form signed by Health Inspector (Form B [[file:Health Certification Form.pdf]])
 * $20.00 (Form C [[file:How to earn twenty dollars.pdf]])
 * Packed suitcase (Form D [[file:Pages for suitcase.pdf]])

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">Each student will be given a brown paper shopping bag with handles to simulate a suitcase. Students will be given a choice to select pre-printed images of various articles that they feel are necessary to take along on their voyage to the United States. Each piece will be cut out and colored before packing it into the suitcase. Students also have the option of creating their own item if needed. The class is reminded that space is limited and only one bag is permitted on the boat.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">Students need to label their suitcases before taking the next step.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">Earning $20.00
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">Immigrants needed money for beginning homes and businesses in their new country. Our students need to earn $20 in “Immigrant money” to represent the money they would be carrying with them as immigrants.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">The list of ways of earning $20 helps them decide on a job.
