Tasks: 1) Activator - Paddy Wagons 2) Analyze 2 Primary Sources using the APPARTS Chart 3) Create a Voicethread analyzing how the sources show Nativism 4) Revisit your Activator response

Process

1) Read the following Articleon the term Paddy Wagons

**2) Analyzing Two Primary Sources using the APPARTS Chart**

 * **As a GROUP, choose two**of the seven primary sources below.

 * Find the **Year**the Source was created,
 * the **Author**(might be a person or an organization),
 * and the **Place**(where it was created).
 * Use the APPARTS Analysis Chart below to **record your findings**(include the html of where you got your information from)
 * Complete the rest of the Chart to the best of your ability
 * **Pair/Share**the Chart
 * Upload the two Charts to DAY 4 of your wiki.
 * **Copy and Answer**the following Question under the Charts

3) Create a Voicethread using the Student Run Discussion format
==== ** Prompt: How do the primary sources documents you analyzed above show Nativism against the Irish in the 1840's? What's the author's POV? Use evidence to prove your point.** (In other words, how does the author depict the Irish? Is this Nativist? What evidence in the sources proves that it shows Nativism.) ====

HOW I create the Voicethread:

WHO is doing what:

Each group of 4 will analyze 2 documents on ONE voicethread. Each voicethread should have a minimum of 8 comments in total (2 from each person in the group).

WHAT I need to include in my Voicethread:
 * 1) ...Use the 2 sources you analyzed above as the visuals for your Voicethread Discussion. ( If you use the Christian Examiner Source, choose 2 quotes as illustrations of your thesis.)
 * 2) ...Use the APPARTS Chart and the 2 Questions you answered below the APPARTS Chart as your evidence in your discussion.
 * 3) ...Show a deep understanding of Nativism while analyzing how the source shows Nativism.

HOW I am getting graded (Assessments):


W HERE: Embed your Voicethread in your Day 4 wiki page under the Activator

4. Revisit your Activator Response

 * I**n red revisit and revise** your Task One Activator.
 * Task: Now that you know more about Nativism against the Irish in the 1800's, do you believe that the term Paddy Wagon __used today__ is a racist slur? Why/Why Not?

Conclusion:
You have analyzed 2 primary sources to analyze Nativism against the Irish in the late 1800's. As you know, Nativism takes many overt (obvious) forms including job discrimination and religious intolerance, but Nativism is also more insidious in American culture and includes racist and sexist ideology. The term “Paddy Wagon” to describe the police truck used to arrest the disorderly is a remnant of this Nativism against the Irish that still used today in the 21st Century.
