Personal reaction: Having been born in Minnesota myself, I was naturally intrigued by this book. Having read this in the fifth grade, I had learned very little about the life and conditions of immigrants coming to America (least of all an iron-mine worker). At a young age, this book expanded my global view while also piquing my interest in the history of American immigrants. Classroom extensions: I would love to have my class engage their families to discover their personal history of immigration while encouraging them to share this with the class. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
