According to the Smithsonian Magazine, this test was used at Ellis Island in the early 1900’s to keep out “feeble-minded” immigrants. The idea was th

I have found it's easiest to have the students share the movie with me on Google classroom or put it on YouTube. I have them do the work independently- not so much in clas
