Designed with a diverse student body in mind, this teaching guide uses real-life
immigrant stories from Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America, demonstrating a
wide range of occupations and immigration statuses, as its foundation to be used
in social studies classrooms following the Common Core standards. The lessons
engage all five of the senses through explorations of multicultural food and music
while keeping personal storytelling at its core.
