GRADE 8's: We are beginning a new unit in Social Studies! Before coming to class on Tuesday, please take some time to watch the following video:
Human Migration: Push and Pull Factors
Be prepared to come with any questions you might have, and at least one interesting point from the video to discuss in your table groups. Be familiar with the concept of push and pull factors; we will use this knowledge to conduct case studies on different people who have migrated to/from their countries.
PARENTS: The above link to the video will introduce your child to the push and pull factors of migration. If you have a migration story that you are willing to share with the class, please send it in with your child - we would love to hear it!! As a class, we will then analyze what the push and pull factors were in your story. See below for the curriculum expectations that are being met through this section of our "Migration" strand.
