Instructional Ideas

  • Have groups research current information about ICE enforcement, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and sanctuary cities
  • Have class members read the article and answer the questions as homework

Classroom Considerations

  • The 2016 resource does not take into account the current debate over enforcement of ICE policies and sanctuary cities
  • Reading passage may need to be updated to reflect the current administration's policies
  • Establish a protocol for the safe, respectful discussion of this controversial issue
  • Third in a series of 11 immigration resources designed to be used in order

Pros

  • The 10-page packet includes a step-by-step plan, a graphic organizer, and five different scenarios for the groups to consider

Cons

  • None
