Track Description
My students have limited exposure to multi-
ethnic cultures. They do not compare/contrast
ideas or themes. Molly's Pilgrim sites
address these deficiencies through the use of
dolls and the story itself to provide lessons
for students to gain knowledge, skills, and
attitudes necessary to become contributing
citizens in our democracy-Civics and Government
Standard 5: Students will gain knowledge,
skills, and attitudes necessary to become
contributing citizens in our participatory
democracy. It addresses Profiler question 6
by allowing them to think of different ways
to tell others what they have learned through
discussions, writing a letter and creation of
a pilgrim doll.
To achieve these goals, the
learner will:
-categorize dolls brought from home.
-discuss examples of prejudice from the story.
-compare/contrast Molly's life in NYC and Winter Hill.
-identify cultural contributions of many people.
-define words immigrant, descendent, freedom, prejudice, and persecution.
