Ellis Island



In Lit. 1 we have been reading about immigrants to America. Many of the pictures in our book have smiling faces as they leave their homes to come to America. In the video many of the photos show immigrants who are not smiling.
1- What emotions do you think these immigrants are feeling? Why?

    1. I agree that they are amazed to see the statue of liberty because they never saw it before in real life. Now they know they are in the United States.

    I think the immigrants are sad because they had to leave there home and abandon some of there favorite things at home because in the video it says something like they only could bring a Little luggage.

    An emotion I think they are feeling is nervous. I think they are nervous because they are moving to a new country.

  11. I think the immigrants maybe feel sad or not happy because one if there family members might have died or did not pass the sick test . So they might feel lonely.

    1. Why do you think the children were afraid? Is it because they are leaving memories behind, and/ or something else?

    I think that some of them are upset to leave because they have to leave so much behind, but some are happy because they might be getting away from sicknesses and starting a new life.

  16. NO. 16 I think they feel like the y need to make sacrifices in order to have a better life but they think it is worth it. I'm thinking they also are sad worried and happy all at once because they are worried that they will get sent back, happy that they are starting over, and sad that they had to leave most of their stuff behind.

    I think they may be feeling sad, homesick and upset. I think this because they had to move away from there homeland because of sicknesses, war and money problems or work. they had to stay on a ship for many months and had to be checked because of health money and what you could do to help. That took A LONG TIME!!!

    I think the immigrants in the video are feeling sad because they had to leave their home and belongings to be safe and live, and some had to leave some family behind or they had to back because they were sick and would spread sickness.

    I think they are sad because they can't come into the country without proving their health by walking up the stairs. I think this makes them wonder why they came.

  24. The immigrants are feeling excited when they see the statue of liberty.
