Go back over the articles we read the first week of school (linked in the August 7 post). Then read More Than Just A Shrine by Mary Gordon.
Write an essay describing what it must have felt like to have been an immigrant back in the Ellis Island days, during the Irish potato famine, during Vietnam or during the Cuban refugee crisis. Can you identify with what they must have felt in any way? Under the same circumstances, would you have taken the same risks in order to follow your hopes and dreams for a better life?
