Studying immigration can help students discover the connection between their past and present. Recently, third grade students studied the journey of immigrants from other countries into the US. They created a Google map portraying the journey of the immigrants they studied. They also added their research to placemarks in the map and ended up with a visual representation of their ancestors’ journeys.  They published them as a part of the “Google Historical Voyages and Events” project, which is a site dedicated to historical events and people.  Students from around the World are posting projects they are doing as they study history.
