Tuesday evening, July 26th

Greetings,

A few things...

1. In preparation for a group exercise on Tuesday next week, I am assigning a homework task due this THURSDAY, JULY 28TH.

For this assignment, I would like you to consider the word "immigration" and do some brainstorming.

Type out ideas that come to mind when you "hear" this word.

The manner in which you do this (listing; short paragraphs; bulleted points, etc.) is entirely up to you. These reactions/responses need not necessarily be what YOU feel or believe...perhaps they are just things you have heard or read.

Please DO NOT PUT YOUR NAME on this assignment. When you submit it, there will be a sign-in sheet so you receive credit for completing the assignment. It counts as 25 points towards the 50 points for GROUP WORK 4 next week.

I will discuss this briefly in class tomorrow in case you have questions or concerns.

2. The following three articles make up Packet 4, to be read by next Tuesday, August 2nd:

"John McCain Blames Illegal Immigrants for Arizona Fires"

"Robert Menendez, Senate Democrats Re-Introduce Immigration Reform Bill"

"Immigration-Linked Prostitution Cases Pose Challenge"

3. REMINDER: If you choose to revise out of class essay #1, your first revision is due no later than this Thursday, July 28. Remember that you must submit the original graded essay with the revision...and the revision must have the changes highlighted. Thanks!
