On Discovering America
American author Pearl S. Buck spent most of her life in China. She returned to America in 1934, “an immigrant among immigrants…in my native land.” In this lesson, students will explore American attitudes toward immigration in the 1930s through Pearl S. Buck’s essay, “On Discovering America.” They will explore the meaning of the term “American” in this context and look at how the media portrayed immigrants. https://edsitement.neh.gov/lesson-plans/pearl-s-buck-discovering-america
