Behind each of the links below (mining, immigration and labor issues) you will find a world of content for learning about these important topics especially in relation to America between 1880-1940 and sometimes specifically in connection to Minnesota.

Each project has a highly refined Annotated Bibliography of additional resources, a VoiceThread, a list of the top ten facts about that topic that every student should learn, and additional lesson content. 

Additionally, you can find children's books that are targeted at each of these topics on our Childrens Literature page with vocabulary activities and lesson plans targeting elementary and middle level students.
