In this activity, fourth grade students explored Montana's immigrant past through photographs. They examined selected images closely and sorted the photos into categories (work, music, community gatherings, etc.) and discussed their reasoning. By the end of the lesson, students understood that Montana was a diverse place, and that immigrants to Montana had both distinct cultural traditions and similarities across cultures.
