Hi guys,

today the recap of the lessons was impossible since you learned almost nothing... It's really annoying that you don't work at all...

Eventually, we started an activity for you to create a letter sent from Jacob to his family in Russia.

Here are some useful documents:

Hi guys,

today we finished working on Helen's diary. Here are some things we said:

When Ellis Island was open, 12 million immigrants entered the USA.
Normally, they stayed on Ellis Island a few hours but they could stay a year if they were sick.
Helen stayed 3 days. It was an awful / a terrible / a horrid journey.
She was from Poland.
She traveled with her family (her father, her mother, and her brother).
She had an awful journey but she didn't miss Poland. She was delighted and exited to start a new life.
