Course: WebQuest Ellis Island

6.Conclusion

During the last few lessons, you have left your country and you have tried to immigrate to the USA. You have travelled across the Atlantic, you have seen New York Harbor with the Statue of Liberty and you have gone through the immigration procedures on Ellis Island. Now you know what immigration to the USA at the beginning of the 20th century was like.

At Kommern you can learn a lot about this topic, especially about the early settlers and their lives. If you want to read some extra texts on this exhibition, you can use these links:
