About This Lesson
The one-week immigration community outreach project and lesson plan meets three objectives: 1) to educate students on the experiences of the immigrant population; 2) to celebrate and welcome immigrant students; and 3) to empower all students to implement a social justice project. This unit plan was created and implemented by the winners of our 2014-2015 American Immigration Council's Community Grant Program: teachers Kerri Fenton and Debra Moreau at DePaolo Middle School in Southington, CT with the intention for the plan to be replicated and adapted.
