She described the many waves of settlers from European countries, the awful times of slave trade, and the events of Ellis Island. The best part of the story is the fact that she makes each reader a part of her story by stating that all Americans are related to immigrants or are even immigrants themselves. //“If Your Name Was Changed At Ellis Island” //by Ellen Levine This book is arranged in a few different styles that first lists questions and answers that enables children to understand a significant amount of information in a simple and clear way.

Krystal Agudo 03/22/10 SSE3312 Artifact Bag/ Internet Search/ Literature List =__ Internet Search __= [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] I went to PBSKids.org and clicked on the search link. I typed in immigration and a list of links came up. I chose Big Apple History because it provides articles on immigrants coming through Ellis Island. It has articles on particular immigrants that tell their story of coming to America. It also has photographs, timelines, and activities. 2. Immigration: Then and Now - [] This is from Scholastic.com, and it is more of a teacher resource. It features ways to introduce immigration to classroom by building background knowledge. Then it discusses immigration in the past and immigration now. It also talks about immigration in school and how to become a citizen.

Kids Discover Magazine- [] This book gives an introductory to the history of immigration from thousands of years ago through the present, focusing on why different groups of people came to America and how they became a part of our national heritage. This book is arranged in Q&A style. It asks earlier immigration questions like ``Did all immigrants come through Ellis Island? and ``Did you have to have a job waiting for you? It also contains individual stories of what it was like to come to America. Jessie and her grandmother live in an Eastern European where, one day, the Rabbi informs the villagers that his brother has died and left him one ticket to "the promised land." The rabbi feels he cannot leave his people and decides to give the ticket to 13-year-old Jessie. It's almost too much for Jessie and her grandmother to bear, though both believe it is for the best. In America, Jessie follows her grandmother's trade and becomes a dressmaker. She works for three years until she has enough money saved to purchase another ticket for her grandmother. 5. Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman – This book gives a light introduction to the experience of being a young urban immigrant around the turn of the century. The photos make the scenes real and recollections of immigrant childhoods give them a personal dimension. 6. The Memory Coat by Elvira Woodruff – This is the story of a family immigrating to the United States from Russia at the turn of the century. To while away the days in their small village, Rachel makes up stories and her orphaned cousin draws pictures in the dirt or snow to illustrate them. Although Rachel's mother offers to make Grisha a new coat, the boy clings to his threadbare jacket because it reminds him of his mother. When Russian soldiers come to round up the Jews, the family is forced to flee and makes the long, arduous journey to America. Grisha is nearly turned away by immigration authorities at Ellis Island because of a cut on his eye. Rachel saves the situation when she turns his shabby coat inside out to hide the doctor's chalk mark.
