itled Prospective immigrants were lined up through a maze of metal fences in the Great Hall at Ellis Island. During busy periods, as many as 5,000 people each day would be checked. Each, in turn, had to undergo both physical inspection and extensive questioning before they were released. For the majority of people, the procedure took between three and five hours. Those two percent denied entry were sent back across the ocean at the steamship line's expense. What is your name? Diary of an Irish Immigrant "Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.I lift my lamp beside the golden door." This is what the Statue of Liberty says, at the bottom, her inscription. It gives me such hope that all the rumors will be true. We got off the boat at what could only be the infamous Ellis Island. My stomach is twisted in to the biggest knot ever. It's time for me to go through the inspection. I have passed.

Evernote Teacher Clicker - Socrative Food aid in Finland: Learning from a Nordic Welfare State | Making Change Happen Mary Anne MacLeod, Research Officer at the Poverty Alliance and PhD student at Glasgow University. In Scotland we often look to Scandinavian countries to learn how we might do things better. World-leading education systems; the highest levels of gender equality; among the happiest places to live in the world – in many ways our Nordic neighbours serve as important role models on how to organise ourselves. And yet this impression of a progressive, inclusive society stands in sharp contrast to scenes I encountered on my recent visit to Finland. Helsinki’s ‘breadlines’ have become the ubiquitous symbol for poverty in Finland. During my visit I interviewed a number of individuals who had been key players in the initial establishment of food aid provision in Finland. Like this: Like Loading...
Irish property to pay for Irish poverty June 28th, 1847: Parliament prepares to throw the financial burden of Famine relief exclusively on Irish taxpayers by passing the Poor Law Amendment Act. A Poor Law designed to help approximately 100,000 paupers will be forced shortly to provide relief to 1 1/2 million people. The Poor Relief (Ireland) Act empowers boards of guardians to grant outdoor relief to the aged, infirm and sick poor, and to widows with two or more dependent children. Ablebodied man can secure relief only if destitute and solely as inmates of the workhouse, although exceptions will be allowed for limited periods. This latest measure to assist the Irish poor will become an agent of depopulation. Secondly, leaving Irish rate payers to carry the full cost of Famine relief - with each electoral district responsible for supporting its own poor - increases the pressure on larger farmers to dispense with labourers. But the consolidation of farms is considered a necessary part of restructuring Irish society.
Skitch for iPad UPAD Lite Presidential Election Vocabulary Overview We cannot take it for granted that our students understand what they hear relating to an upcoming election, especially our ELL students. Vocabulary is acquired though both exposure and explicit instruction. Vocabulary instruction involves review, repetition, and word-learning strategies. It also involves getting students actively engaged in using and thinking about basic election word meanings. By using formative assessments (teacher observation, classroom discussion, analysis of student work, etc), teachers can see if they need to make any instructional adjustments such as re-teaching, giving students more opportunities to practice, or holding more classroom discussions. Objective Formative assessment is achieved by observing students as they respond to questions, ask questions, and interact with other students during activities. Lesson Plans for this Unit Culminating Activity Students will campaign for one of the presidential candidates. Supporting Books
