Select one of the following subordinate groups from Ch. 1 of the text, or, because the chapter does not list all subordinate groups, you may select any other group that has a documented history in the United States. Do not select your own ethnic group!
o Subordinate Groups: Native Americans, African Americans, Chinese Americans, Japanese Americans, Arab Americans, Filipino Americans, Korean Americans, Vietnamese Americans, Asian Indians, Hawaiians, Irish Americans, Polish Americans, Norwegian Americans, Jewish Americans, Cuban Americans, Mexican Americans, and Puerto Ricans.
„h Identify and describe which, if any, of the following creation and consequence situations the group has faced:
o Creation: migration, annexation, or colonization
o Consequences: extermination, expulsion, secession, segregation, fusion, or assimilation
„h Write, as though you were a member of this subordinate group, a fictional, first-person account of the creation and consequence situations of a subordinate group in the United States in the form of a 700- to 1,050-word journal entry.
o Describe, as though you were a member of this subordinate group, where the group originated, how it came to the United States, and one or two locations in the United States where members of your group live. Be creative in your fictional descriptions, and accurate with your facts. Research your text, the Internet, or the University Library for information about your chosen group. Of particular usefulness is the People section of the U.S. Census Bureau American Fact Finder Web site at
What is your question?
i need help with this
First you must choose an ethnic group to focus on.
I choose Arab Americans
have you done this before
Next you need to research their "creation" stories.
Among Jews or Christians, this is fairly easy because all you have to do is read Genesis in the Old Testament.
Let me know what you find out about how Arab Americans believe the world and all that's in it came into being.
