TAI DAM IMMIGRANTS

FACTS THAT NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN EACH PROJECT:

Push/Pull reasons for coming to Iowa When did most of the immigrants arrive? From what continent did your immigrants come? What language do they speak? How did they get here? Where in Iowa did the majority of them settle? What are some of their traditions, food, and clothing? What type of religion do they practice?

YOU MAY SHARE ANYTHING ELSE YOU FEEL APPROPRIATE.

To share your information, your group needs to make a People Book. 1. Fold a sheet of white construction paper in half twice horizontally and then once vertically. 2. Open it up to reveal 8 panels. 3. Cut the bottom left and bottom right panels along the dotted lines (see the sample from your teacher). Save the 2 scraps of paper. 4. Fold in the top left and top right panels. 5. Glue the 2 scraps that were cut away behind the 2 panels. 6. Add a head, legs, and hands to the figures. 7. Decorate the figure to represent traditional dress of the Tai Dam people. 8. Using construction paper, create an object to put in the figure's hand that it relevant to his/her accomplishment. 9. Inside the 2 flaps, write complete, detailed paragraphs describing the significance and the accomplishments of the Tai Dam immigrants.
