| Publisher Description: American History Ink Immigrants at Ellis Island Teachers will find background information, brief summaries of each graphic novel, and two activities to help you guide your students' understanding of each graphic novel. The first activity is designed to help the student utilize the story presented to complete the assigned task. The second activity is more broadly focused, allowing students to make connections between the graphic novel and the larger historical context of the period. Features of graphic novels: Engaging, stories from history combine words and images to draw students' interest. Historical fiction topics offer content-area reading practice in American history, social studies, language arts, and humanities classes. A story introduction provides background information, sets a purpose for reading, and activates before-reading discussion. Biographical sketches, maps, timelines, and fascinating facts reinforce and extend students' understanding of the story and the time period. End-of-book activities encourage students to apply critical thinking to personal responses and to vocabulary practice. |
