(maps, images)

images)
 SKILL - SWBAT connect maps and data to migration stories about real
people
 FACT - SWBAT give examples of census variables, show which variables
are available, and state limitations
 FACT - SWBAT describe the migrants, out-migration places, and push
forces for [a migration]

others did not
 DISPOSITION - Students will show curiosity about migrations and
migrants’ histories, and ask historical questions
 DISPOSITION - Students will show respect for migrants with different
races, nationalities, and histories

of data, and imagine other sources of information
