One of the things I teach is the contrast between old/new immigrants. Students come into 9th grade already knowing a bit about Ellis Island but I like to show them a virtual voyage as a reinforcement. We can then springboard into different activities (writing a letter home as someone on a ship coming to Ellis Island, for example).
