*NWR*- Teachers?

A lot of us on here are teachers or are becomming teachers.

I need some opinions:

I'm doing a unit plan on immigration. Does anyone have an idea of any movies that a 5th grade class could watch- in which I could include the theme 'immigration'


Thanks :)

hi there

what about
'In America' it is about an Irish family who comes to NY.

Also 'Angela's Ashes'- another irish one but it may be above their heads.

I've shown the first scene of Titanic...works well when discussing class distinctions

It might be a bit depressing, but what about 'An American Tail'?

American Tail is great for the 5th grade!

This website has compiled a list of movies that have to do with immigration... scroll through it and you'll see a lot of movies you are familiar with... maybe you'll see one you think works for your lesson.
Good luck
