Read Kansas! Middle School - M-25 The Hmong Migration

This lesson explores the reasons one group of Southeast Asians, the Hmong, migrated to Kansas.  Students will analyze a primary source artifact (a textile story cloth).  Students will use historical thinking skills to "read" the artifact.  They will read a brief essay about the Hmong and answer the question they raised from reading the artifact. Then they will record a piece of their personal, family, class, or community history in a visual medium and have other students "read" their story.  This lesson is designed to take two class periods.
