Abstract	This lesson discusses two California communities, Locke and Walnut Grove, that illustrate the experiences of early Asian immigrants and their struggles to find a place in U.S. society. The lesson is based on the National Register of Historic Places registration files, "Walnut Grove Japanese-American Historic District,""Walnut Grove Chinese-American Historic District,""Walnut Grove Commercial/Residential Historic District," and "Locke Historic District." It can be used in units on immigration or multiculturalism in the United States and can enhance the study of Asian American history. The seven objectives of this lesson plan are: (1) "About This Lesson"; (2) "Setting the Stage: Historical Context"; (3) "Locating the Site: Maps" (California; Locke and Walnut Grove, CA, and the Neighboring Delta Towns); (4) "Determining the Facts: Readings" (Chinese and Japanese Immigrants Come to America; Life in Walnut Grove; Life in Locke); (5) "Visual Evidence: Images" (Chinese Mason Building, Market St. Elevation; Chinese Mason Building River Rd. Elevation; Gakuen Hall, Walnut Grove; Main Street, Locke; Dai Loy Gambling Museum, Locke; Dai Loy Gambling Museum, Floor Plan); (6) "Putting It All Together: Activities" (Life as an Immigrant; Census Data; Ethnic Enclaves); (7) "Supplementary Resources."
