The+Immigration+Debate

Due to recent political climate, along with growing immigration rates, it is imperative that students gain knowledge on this issue. We do not have intentions to create bias or mislead students. We simply want to present them with the facts, and allow them to make their own choices. To provide background knowledge about the topic and its controversy, the following will be utilized:

1. A prezi that shows the complexities of the current immigration debate in order for students to gain a better understanding of the issue.

2. Google maps will be projected on the Promethean Smart Board in order to highlight key areas in the immigration debate. Students will be called to the board to help highlight key areas.

3. A discussion board will be created on the wiki page where students will post their own thoughts and reflections regarding the issue. Students are asked to respond to at least 2 posts created by other students to help facilitate the discussion.

Possible Prezi:

Give current statistics on number of illegal immigrants in America

Discuss why immigrants are coming to America

The journey to America

Recent political actions

both sides of the argument (i.e. get citizenship vs. citizenship can be to difficult to obtain)
