**Overview **

 * First, choose a country and culture to explore. 
 * Then you will research a specific time period, focusing on why people from that particular area came to the United States. Were they pushed out of their country of origin? Were they drawn or pulled to the United States by opportunities? Or did the decision to immigrate come from a combination of both? Your research can span particular years or particular decades.

 * Next, you will synthesize your research, by creating a well-written two or three page research paper. Your teachers will instruct you how to do this step by step and support you along the way. 
 * Lastly, your <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">findings will be reported at the CHP Fair before classmates, faculty and selected guests, in a 1-2 minute presentation accompanied by a slideshow.
