Conclusion
The main goals of this lesson are for you to:
- Go beyond the usual topics of a Spanish class.
- Become aware of the different perspectives in the immigration debate.
- See the effects of this issue in our city, state, and country.
- Become familiar with using the Internet to conduct research on a current event.
- Use group work as a way to share and learn new information.
- Learn how to work collaboratively to develop a stance on an issue.
I hope that this project got you interested in the issue of immigration! If you are still interested in learning more about this topic, I recommend the following:
- Look at any of the suggested websites that your group may not have had time to explore.
- Look in newspapers and current events magazines. For example, at least once a week in the local paper, there is an article relating to immigration. This is an unbiased (unless it is in the Opinion section), up-to-date source of information.
