Berger's "Immigration Simulation Activity" project gives students in a regular history class a chance to see what it was like to immigrate to a foreign country. Students from a limited English speaking class create a fictional country, complete with hotels, banks and restaurants. Students from the regular class make their own passports and travel to the new country. The projects helps both groups of students learn more about each culture and develop their communication and critical thinking skills.
