SUMMARY:Immigration: Has America always wanted 'your poor\, your tired\, your huddled masses'? “
DESCRIPTION:A resource developed in partnership with the Library of Congress asks\, “has America always wanted ‘your poor\, your tired\, your huddled masses’? “\nImmigration is as old as human history. People move from one place to another for many reasons. When migration occurs across a national border\, it is called immigration. When relocation happens within the same country\, it is termed emigration. Historians often attribute the movement to “push-pull” factors. Sometimes conditions at home become so dangerous or challenging that people are forced to move elsewhere. Wars\, famines\, economic issues or political oppression are often “push” factors encouraging people to seek safety or better conditions somewhere else. Sometimes opportunities in a new land attract newcomers. Cheap and fertile farmlands in the United States lured hundreds of thousands of immigrants in the latter 19th century. Political and religious freedom\, good jobs and educational opportunities “pulled” many to America to seek a fresh start in the states. \nYou’ll reflect on the following questions:\nHow have laws regulating immigration changed over time?\nHow have responses and support for immigrants and refugees evolved over time?\nHow have attitudes or viewpoints about immigration changed over time?

SUMMARY:Over & Under: Wildlife Crossings
DESCRIPTION:Why did the turtle cross the road? Better yet\, HOW can a turtle cross a busy highway safely? Collisions between wildlife and automobiles are expensive\, dangerous\, and deadly for animals and people. “Over & Under: Wildlife Crossings” explores old and new methods that allow animals to move over or under our nation’s highways in search of food\, shelter\, and companionship. The stories behind two innovative and effective crossings for endangered turtles in Iowa and Wisconsin are featured\, and the film makes a compelling case for the construction of wildlife crossings while it encourages motorists to do their part by minding “animal crossing” signs.

SUMMARY:Reform Movements in America
DESCRIPTION:A resource developed in partnership with the Library of Congress\, asks how can citizens of a country affect change for the common good? The French commentator on American society in the 1830s\, Alexis de Toqueville\, observed that Americans are very quick to join together to promote whatever causes they favor\, and there was certainly evidence around him. Reforms on many issues — temperance\, abolition\, prison reform\, women’s rights\, missionary work in the West — fomented groups dedicated to social improvements. \nStudents will reflect on the following questions:\nWhat factors motivated antebellum reformers to take action?\nWhat were the common strategies antebellum reformers used?\nWhat did antebellum reformers achieve?

SUMMARY:Refugees in America
DESCRIPTION:A resource developed in partnership with the Library of Congress\, asks should the United States accept refugees?\nSince its earliest days as part of the United States\, Iowa has a long history of being a destination for those from other countries to find a new home. Such newcomers are called immigrants. A special class of those are people fleeing wars\, persecution or other dangers from their former homes. These immigrants are termed “refugees.” Like the larger class of immigrants\, Iowa has confronted both the challenges and opportunities of accepting new arrivals as permanent residents\nStudents will reflect on the following questions:\nHow has America helped refugees in the past?\nWhat has been Americans’ attitude towards refugees?\nWhat are the possible risks associated with helping refugees?
