Help your students bring immigration history and politics to life.
Immigration issues dominate the news just now, and they present a great opportunity for a curriculum or service project. Your students can bring back powerful interviews if they venture into their communities to talk to the immigrants they know about their experiences.

WKCD learned this, when we coached and then published such work by New York City students in our photo essay book, Forty-Cent Tip: Stories of New York City Immigrant Workers (Next Generation Press, 2006).

Now we are offering you a look at our coaching guidelines˜and a chance to be published online˜in the hope that you will try the project, too.

WKCD offers the following resources to help with your project:

• A manual for teachers and students.
• A complimentary copy of the WKCD book Forty-Cent Tip˜or a classroom set, at cost, as long as supplies last.

To get the details, download the manual, and order a complimentary copy of the book, please go to: http://www.whatkidscando.org/featurestories/2008/01_great_american/index.html

If you already have immigrant stories collected by your students that you'd like to see and perhaps publish online, please send them to info@whatkidscando.org.
