This year as a project in 4th grade we are doing a immigration and migration interview. We are expected to find a person that is not our parents to interview and that came from another continent, country, or state. Then we are expected to ask them different questions like:
- Where were you born?
- Why did you come to Texas?
- How did you come to Texas, that sort of thing?
I’m doing my interview on my grandmother from Valley of the Angels, Zacatecas, Mexico. She came to join her husband, but there’s different people from different places and some came here for different reasons. I’ve observed that many of them moved because of better experiences, better jobs, more money, war, a natural disaster or, like mine, to join family. Most of them did get what they moved here for. Whether or not, most of them settled here.
Lots of them had family here, too. Many of them are doing well. We are also supposed to make a giant chart with two to three people, as well we will make a podcast with the same people. Then the podcast will be on a QR code and when people hold their phones up the podcast will play. It’s fun and probably my favorite P.B.L. ever!
