 * //Inspiration for Immigration //**

The idea for addressing the recent immigration issue came about as a result of our content areas. When realizing we had two members of our group focusing on history/government, and another focusing on Spanish, the idea came about naturally.

Immigration is an incredibly important topic in today's political climate. The debate over the Mexican border, along with recent U.S. actions and policy has resulted in a confusing assortment of facts and actions that can confuse students. Our content areas have a great chance in addressing the immigration issue, while also expanding the students' knowledge of immigration in general. It is from here that our inspiration takes an additional purpose. We want students to understand what immigration is, and the effect it has had throughout U.S. history. We believe that our content areas have the necessary resources in order to provide this.

Our analysis over immigration in education will be separated into four themes. These themes will be broken down into subsections: the immigration debate, explaining immigration, why teach immigration, and resources and methods.
