Activity 1 (groups of 4 people)

Each group does a different research:

• Search the Internet to find some background information about the social and economic situation of Ireland in the 1930s.
• Look for some more information about the situation of the Irish immigrants in America at that time.
• Look for films that deal with the topic of immigration in America. E.g. The Immigrant (1917), West Side  Story (1961), The Godfather (1972), El Norte (1983),  Stand and Deliver (1988), My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002), etc.

Final task: Write a summary of each research and explain to the rest of the class (max. 200 words). They'll be published on the blog.
