=SETTLERS FROM MANY LANDS =

Your task this week is to research one of the immigrant groups who came to Iowa. You will be given some resources to search information that will help you complete your group assignment. You will also need to use your Iowa history textbook for added details, and you may use other books from the library and online resources to help you in your quest to share as many details as possible about your immigrant group. The information on your page is just a beginning point for you to start your research. Your group will be presenting your final project by the end of the week, so use your time wisely in class.

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?
