Your final assignment will be a short 5 page paper (about 1250 words) or what I am calling a reflection. Your task is to apply concepts and ideas you have learned in this course to a migrant group. Don’t think of this as a full research paper but rather a foray or inroads into a topic related to your interests and the class material.
Choose a contemporary migrant group.
Once you have settled on a topic. I want you to address the following questions. Please include a references page at the end of your paper. Remember this paper is only about 5 page doubled spaces – you should only be spending 125 – 250 words on each prompt.
1. Make clear what SPECIFIC migrant group, time, and place you chose.
2. What is your interest in the specific migration you chose to investigate? Is it personal? Does your reason for choosing it have something to do with the course? (Example: This group describes my ancestors – I was fascinated by the idea of Chain Migration)
3. What are some of the push factors that influenced the group you chose? Why did they leave their place of origin? (Example: African Americans leave the South because of racism)
4. What were some of the pull factors in the United States. Once they left – why did they choose to go to the United States? (Example: African Americans came to the North because friends/relatives wrote letters and there were industrial jobs)
5. What theory of migration we covered earlier in the semester reading best fits your group? Explain why you chose the specific theory. (Example: Neo-Classical Migration)
6. What was/is the socio-economic status of this group? Highly educated? What type of jobs did they work when they came to the United States? What kind of visas would the group you are studying migrate under?
7. How does or did racism affect the migration and settlement patterns of the group you are studying?
8. What laws or legislations affected the group you are studying? (Example: The Chinese Exclusion Act affected Chinese settlements because male migrants could not bring women with them and they were forbidden by law to marry outside of their race)
9. What is the geographic pattern of the migrant group you are studying (east coast/west coast etc)? Has the geographic pattern of this migrant group changed over time?
10. Include and analyze any statistics you can gather from past applications we have used in the course that make sense.
11. What are issues facing the immigrant group you chose?
12. Include a conclusion

Mini Assignment (20% of your course grade)
Submission requirements in two parts:
Part 1: Do a bit of research into Covid impacts on tourism currently, building on what you learned in the lesson last week – provide a written submission (you must include the headings as noted below) directly in the text box (do not attach or email);
Part 2: Create a simple one-page fact sheet about Covid impacts on tourism attached to the assignment in (do not email) – EVERYTHING must fit on one page, including your references.
Notes:
This week you will do another shorter mini-assignment to get you thinking about the impacts of Covid on Tourism, currently (so far in 2022).
Last week you did a self guided review of the projected and real impacts of Covid on Tourism.
For this mini-assignment I want you to do a bit of research as to where we are now, and where we are going.
Steps: PART 1:
IMPORTANT! Please USE THE BOLD HEADINGS BELOW in your text box submission.
Introduction: Write a 1-2 sentence introduction to your Covid Mini-Assignment to give us a sense of what you will discuss.
Covid and tourism article: Find a current (2022) article online (this may be any form of article – academic, popular, news) that discusses Covid impacts on tourism in 2022. This article can speculate about what is coming, or report on what has happened. It can be a broad article on global effects, or a more specific one relating to a place on earth. Write a 4-8 sentence summary of what the article above is about and at the end of your summary include an APA format reference to the article.
Covid and tourism video: Find a current (2022) video online (this may be any form of video – popular, news, vlog) that discusses Covid impacts on tourism in 2022. Again, this video can speculate about what is coming, or report on what has happened. It can be a broad report on global effects, or a more specific one relating to a place on earth. Write a 4-8 sentence summary of what the video above is about and at the end of your summary include a link to the video – you do not need to reference it beyond this link.
Steps: PART 2
IMPORTANT! Please attach this fact sheet as a pdf or doc file only – under this same assignment.
Please create a one page “2022: A year in review so far – Covid and tourism fact sheet” (.pdf or .doc only) discussing Covid Impacts on tourism currently (2022), in the style of the UNWTO “2020: A year in review” that you reviewed in the lesson:
Title this fact sheet “2022: A year in review so far – Covid and tourism fact sheet”;
One paragraph of 3-5 sentences introducing where you see the impacts of Covid on Tourism heading in 2022 based on all of your research for Parts 1 and 2 of this assignment;
3 graphics, similar to any you see in the UNWTO article, but using current information for 2022 so far with labels and citations – these do not have to be the same kind of information presented in that review – anything you find that relates Covid to Tourism in 2022 is acceptable here;
2-4 sentences beneath each graphic indicating what is shown;
Be creative and have fun but make this one a bit more professional than your first fact sheet – again model it on the UNWTO report style;
Please provide references for the graphics and information directly on the fact sheet at the bottom;
Everything, including your references, must appear on that one page.
Please use any point size over 11 points, except for your references (see below);
For this fact sheet, please use in-text citations in APA format (there are guides online with Western Libraries to help you – let us know if you cannot find them!);
Your reference list should appear at the bottom of the fact sheet and can be in any point size over 9.
