Changes to the Project:
1. Do your best to find 3 primary sources and 1 secondary source online. If you are unable to find primary sources online, you may use your own primary sources such as photos, census records, art, etc. 

2. Though it does not need to be a "journal entry"-style type of writing (from someone's perspective) you still need to write at least 2 paragraphs describing 2 things:
1) a major historical event, movement, or issue that affected your IMMIGRANT GROUP (not necessarily your family)
2) an anecdotal experience or information from your family/your own immigration history (if possible).

For example, instead of me writing from my father's perspective ("I came to the U.S. in 1966"), I would write about what assimilation is, and how "my dad assimilated relatively easy to American culture because..."

If you're still wondering about what issue or event to focus on, start with the wikipedia page for "History of immigration to the United States" but then you need to find other secondary sources and primary sources. Go to the WHS library site that Ms. Garcia set up for our class for suggestions!

Like I said, I had some difficulty finding primary and secondary sources, but this is what I found:

Primary Sources: These are news articles appearing in a Queens, New York online news site. It documents the current struggle of larger concentrations of Nepalese immigrants. 
Workers Rights and Becoming Other than "Other" in the U.S. Census. I can use quotes or statistics or even pictures as primary sources.

Secondary Source: This is a scholarly article from the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies discussing how Nepalese people assimilate into American culture. (click here for link to full text)
