We did this Ellis Island simulation and we dressed up as immigrants from different countries in Europe.
I was from Germany and my name was Gilda Brun. There were four different stations. The first one was for memorizing your passport. I got sent back because I didn't know my birth date. The next one was vocation. They asked about what you did for a job. I was sewing and knitting. The third station was character and they asked if I had been to jail. That was easy since I didn't do anything wrong. The fourth was the health station and they had to ask lots of questions. At the clearance station, they check all your points. I got in and I felt excited and happy and a little relieved. I was very nervous going into it. It was a good way to learn about immigration and it was fun.
