Immigration Newsletter
Using Microsoft Publisher, you will create a newsletter that will be distributed to immigrants just entering New York City from Eastern Europe in 1895. Choose the Publisher program from Microsoft Office, then choose "Publications for Print", then choose "Newsletters" for your template. Your newsletter will have four pages and contain the following information:
What they should expect from their processing at Ellis Island. There is a good website at http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/immigration/tour/
A housing opportunity at 97 Orchard Street in NYC and tell the immigrants what kind of housing they can expect there. There is a website dedicated to the building at http://www.tenement.org/
At least three different job opportunities in different fields and let them know the hours they are expected to work in those jobs, the pay, and any dangers they may face doing them.

Your newsletter should also contain the following:
At least 3 photographs
At least one political cartoon
At least one advertisement from the time period
Remember that you are writing this newsletter as if you are living in 1895, so remember to use the present tense and not look like you are writing about the past.
Due the Wednesday before Thanksgiving Break. There will be no late submissions so be sure to get it to me on time.
