Instructional Ideas
- Have groups update the information in the packet, particularly recent changes in immigration law and on the border fence, and research the types of visas (i.e., immigrant and non-immigrant visas)
Classroom Considerations
- Read through the entire packet to determine if the point of view is appropriate for your learning situation
- Requires considerable prep time to create and post the US Immigration timeline around the classroom
- Establish a protocol for the safe, respectful discussion of controversial and sensitive issues
Pros

Cons
- Some of the information in the packet is dated and does not reflect the current political situation
