Jacob's arrival at Ellis Island

Hi guys,

today you first wrote down the assumptions you had made last time. Here they are:

He might escape and flee from Russia.
 

Jacob may 50% ... /Jacob might 20%  ...:
. -... try and get help
. -... change his name
. -... go to another village
. -... escape from Russia
. -... hide from the soldiers
. -... warn other Jewish villages

Jacob 's actual story:
-> After the pogrom in his village, Jacob escaped Russia to the USA / he ran away from misery in order to have a better life.

Then we continued the class, listening to what had happened of Jacob. You can listen to the document here again:

Here is what we said about the document:

-> Now he is at Ellis Island, an island in the USA near the Statue of Liberty (in NYC)

-> In the document, there are 4 voices :

. . . - the narrator
. . . - Jacob
. . . - the 1st doctor
. . . - the 2nd doctor

-> We learn that Jacob fled his country in order to / so as to become American; so / consequently / that's why on Ellis Island some people ask him question.

HW:

- apprendre la leçon et le nouveau voc. Etre capable de parler du document en début d'heure.
