Introduction

• In our third grade social studies unit, we have
  been learning about the different cultures and
  customs that people have within the United
  States. People who travel or move from country
  to country, are called immigrants. They bring
  with them different beliefs, ways of doing
  things, and language.
• Can you think of an example that you have
  encountered? On the next page, brainstorm ideas
  and examples that you know of that exist in the
  United States.

Grading Rubric
A grading rubric is a paper that shows how well
you did on your project, in other words your
grade! Please take a look at the grading rubric
so that you know what you will be expected to do.
Miss Gauci will have copies ready when you need
this. When your project is complete, you will
