How Educators Teach Immigration and Digital Storytelling in the
Classroom
In our most recent tweet
chat we co-hosted on May 4th with middle
school teacher Brian Kelley at #engchat, we initiated a
thought-provoking, generative discussion with English and ELL teachers as well
as vested learning partners on the benefits and challenges of creating digital
stories on immigration with students.
Our piece “Teach Empathy with Immigrant Digital Stories” published today on Edutopia addresses some of these considerations and
steps to support and share student writing of immigration experiences
digitally.
In addition, we’re highlighting a few of the
insights shared with us from the tweet chat that will further enhance such a
classroom project to create a positive learning culture where diverse
backgrounds, knowledge, and belief systems are appreciated.

storytelling on immigration lesson plan.
Please continue to share how you use digital storytelling
on immigration with us and how it can create empathetic moments for classrooms
and school communities. We’d love to
hear your experiences!
We invite book reviews written by teachers or students and we offer free lesson plans, resources, and grants to #teachimmigration. Stay
