Essay

For this writing assignment, you will draw on information from the text and other materials from the Ch. 18 Module to analyze the experiences of immigrants arriving and settling in America during the Progressive Era. The time frame is important: confine your analysis to 1900 to 1916. Focus on the lives and work experiences of new immigrants living in the city and discuss the institutions and activities important to immigrants as part of the adjustment process.

The essay should be a minimum of five paragraphs, each containing a minimum of four complete sentences. (This will be about 500 words.) Your description and analysis of the immigrant experience should include as much detail and specific examples as possible.
