This lesson utilizes Good Fortune: My Journey to Gold Mountain, a well-written autobiography that tells of one family’s story of immigration to the US through Angel Island in the 1930s. This lesson can be used in a secondary school classroom to discuss controversial issues related to immigration quotas and discrimination. The book demonstrates the great desire of immigrants to survive and provokes thoughts and feelings that move adolescents to reflection in speaking and writing.
