THINKING CRITICALLY
CONNECT TO HISTORY
1. Analyzing Patterns
Retrace the movement of migrant
workers in the three regions. Why do you think migrant
workers have to keep moving?
CONNECT TO TODAY
2. Creating a Database
Pose a historical question
about the relationship between crops and planting sea-
sons. For example, what types of crops are har vested
in Michigan during the fall? Then research and create a
database that answers this and other such questions.

THE ATLANTIC COAST
While some workers along the Atlantic Coast stream
remain in Florida, like the workers shown here picking
beans, others travel as far north as New Hampshire
and New York. There, they work from March through
September. Due to the winters, migrant workers in
most of the Midwest and Atlantic regions can find work
for only six months out of the year.
