US Immigration Visual Project

  • With your blogpost, include your reflection related to:

    • What surprised you most about this information?
      That everything has a reason and you can tell according to historic events. 
    •  What seemed quite obvious about explaining this data set?
      The reasons why the number of immigrants increased and decreased. After a big historic event occurred, immigrants were either taken in or declined. An example, is when the Holocaust came to an end, the number of immigrants increased majorly. After wars, there was a decrease of acceptance. 
    • Looking at the overall trend and incorporating what you know about the US presently, predict and defend the immigration trend for the next two decades.
      I think in the next two decades, there will be a decrease in immigrants. I think there will be another war. But, a huge war that includes multiple countries, making it another World War. The US will be completely shut down for immigrants and make the process even harder. Plus, people's thoughts on America will change. 
    • Describe how you made a decision on how to visually represent the information.
      I thought of graphs and many pictures because visual is always the way to go on presentation with teenagers. Everyone likes pretty pictures. They will pay attention. 
    • What parts of group work were challenging?
      Nothing, because everyone stayed focus and communicated. We all communicated through emails and everyone stayed ontop of their assigned decades, which was excellent. 
    • What would you do differently if you had this project to do over?
    • Nothing really because I love the outcome of our project. To me, we did great as a team. Everyone did their best and we all agreed. There wasn't fighting or lateness.
