About+Us

Mrs. Schleifer's Social Studies classes at West Middle are working hard to study and understand immigration. We are examining 3 different waves of immigration to the United States.
We are creating this Wiki based on library research that we conduct. We will locate answers to our questions about immigration in many authoritative sources, including books, web sites, encyclopedias, and library databases.

In addition to each of our assigned immigrant groups, we will use the same research sources to find out more about our own family's background.

As we each enter our research into the Wiki, we will sign our entries with our first name and last initial. We will also list where we found our information in the correct MLA format according to our school's Works Cited guide.

Please stick around, read our site, and enjoy the information. We have worked very hard to make sure it is accurate and that we cited all our sources!

Note: Are you a student who would like to use the research that Mrs. Schleifer's classes worked hard to discover? You may do so, as long as you follow the copyright guidelines for a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 License. Click hereto find out what that means.

You may email our teacher, Mrs. Schleifer, with any comments or questions about our project at pschleifer@westseneca.wnyric.org. Our school librarian, Ms. Wrobel, also helped us with this project. You can email her at lwrobel@westseneca.wnyric.org.
