1. Please take your journal out of hiding and blow the dust off of it because you will need it for the Historical Fiction Unit.
2. You are required to write 10 journal entries, however 5 will be written in class and the last 5 will be completed at home. Please note that in order to write these journal entries, especially the first 5 you will need online research for facts to support your responses.
3. The 5 entries at home must be about the immigrant's life in the United States. What are the difficulties he/she faced when they arrived? (i.e. language barriers, no education, gender inequality, no work, etc.) How did he/she overcome the difficulties? What success or accomplishments did he/she gain?
4. The H.F. Food Celebration is tentatively going to be held on June 1, 2012. Please make sure you have spoons, a knife, spatula, etc. that is necessary to serve the food. DO NOT EXPECT THAT UTENSILS WILL BE THERE WAITING FOR YOU!
5. You must have a menu ready for your in class presentations. You can choose to video tape your presentation with music and paraphenalia from the immigrants country as your background while you give a short history of the migration and the history of the food. However, you must have a printed menu. Keep it simple if you wish!
