What was it like to be an immigrant to America? Take a virtual tour from The Tenement Museum website. Create an immigrant identity, create a printable passport, select your belongings, set sail for America, arrive at Ellis Island, then pretend to be an immigrant living in a tenement in the Lower East Side of New York City. Make a life for yourself in the apartment, and take a virtual tour of a tenement apartment. Choose what you will do for fun, housework, what you will buy, decide what your job will be, and where you will sleep. Finally, write a letter about your new life in America., where you will have the option to print the postcard or email to someone. Enjoyable, educational, and best of a FREE resource! Enjoy with your students!
The Tenement Museum site also has FREE educational lesson plans and resources for you to use as well.
