My class has an Immigration We Video project. It’s where you pretend you’re an immigrant from a country in Europe and you immigrate to Ellis Island. I think that it was really fun because we had to get pictures, record our voice to go with the pictures etc. I was a Russian immigrant named Vladimir Orlov and I used my classmates to be my brother, dad, mom, and friends both in Russia and America after I “immigrated”. In the beginning we had to pick a country in Europe and I picked Russia because it is a large country with a lot of information on it so researching is easy. We made up a character. Then we created a storyboard. That was hard because we needed to make the pictures line up with the words. Then we took pictures with immigrant clothes.

The whole immigration We Video was really cool and I learned a lot!
