Summary:

Taking Emma Lazarus's famous poem "New Colossus" ("Give me your tired, your poor...") as a model, this activity asks students to write their own poem about immig

Description:

"Explore immigration in the past and present, and examine the poem, "New Colossus," by Emma Lazarus. Compare this poem to poetry of today, and use information gained to write a new "welcome to America." Students are asked to write a kind of "welcome to America" update of Emma Lazarus's classic verse.
The activity is divided into several parts. The first two ask the student to think about the differences between the poetry of Lazarus's day and our own. Step three tells the student to think about what America means to them or to ask others the same question. In step four, there are some suggestions about writing poetry. And step five provides some ideas on how to display the students' poetry."
