Description: This webquest will increase student understanding of Ellis Island and the immigrant experience in the U.S. The webquest is designed for fourth grade students.
A WebQuest for 4th Grade (Reading/Social Studies) Where did your family come from? Most of our families came from somewhere else, and their migration is part of our heritage. America is a nation of immigrants - people who have moved to the United States from other countries. At the end of the 1800s, Italians, Poles, Armenians, Russians and others from southern and eastern Europe were allowed to enter America on the east coast. On the west coast, Chinese and Japanese immigrants arrived. The ports of Ellis Island, New York and Angel Island, San Francisco served as the official entries for the greatest human migration in history.  Ellis Island was called "The Golden Door", but what did it feel like to go through that door?
