Draw from Ancheta, the immigration-related web sites and other class readings where necessary.  The paper must be typed, double-spaced and a minimum of 1000 words and a maximum of 1500 words. See below for proper citation of interview sources.

Key points:

1. Where are you from? Where are the other interviewees from?  What are the social/cultural backgrounds of your family and their families?
2. When did you and they come to the US? Why did you and they come to the US?
3. What are the adjustments you and they have made since coming to the US?

The paper should include clear citations and references of your interview sources [incl. information such as name of person interviewed, their relationship to you, the place you conducted the interview and the date, etc.]. You may also draw on other sources beyond interviews, including family photographs and documents, but you must interview at least two other people. TIP - In answering the above questions, you should try to draw also from concepts from Ancheta Chapters 1-4, the immigration-related web sites and other class readings for this assignment..
