Class Updates: 5/31/13 and 6/3/13

On Friday May 31^st we worked on our Immigrant Guide to the West projects. This is our final assessment for American Literature Honors and American History Honors. For this guide we will be making a guide book for immigrants as they are going west, this guide will help them prepare for life on the frontier. There are several parts to this project we need to complete. First we need a section with specific vocabulary words and phrases that an immigrant would need to know to be successful in the frontier. Next we need information on how to build a shelter and then advice for farming on the frontier. After this we need a section on advice for meeting locals and adapting to the new community. The next section is about some big threats that’s immigrants will face in the frontier. After this section we need to make something about safety in the frontier. Next will be a section on Myths and reality in the frontier. Lastly, you need to add anything else you want to include in the guide. Today June 3^rd we did not have class due to the half day.
