The debate about immigration reform continues. To gain a deeper understanding of the issues involved, class members first examine a photo of an anti-immigration rally. Groups then conduct an internet search for an image that presents an opposite point of view. The lesson concludes with individuals expressing their own point of view in an essay, advertisement, or picket sign.
