Student Score__________/100

Migration Assessment
Directions:
You will create a written narrative based on the migration role you received in class.
Build a character, context, setting, and circumstance surrounding the role you have
been given. Be creative! Consider the history of your character, their goals,
aspirations, struggles, and achievements.
Be sure to include where your character is migrating from, where they are migrating
to, and why they are migrating. Think of the push and pull factors we have
discussed in class. Use key terms and concepts surrounding migration to create this
narrative. This narrative should be 2-3 pages, double-spaced. Read the attached
rubric for grading criteria and an understanding of expectations. Have fun!
Both you (the student) and I (the teacher) will use the following grading criteria
rubric to assess this writing. An average of the two scores will be marked in the
grade book.
