Step 1: Research

1. Read about maps in Chapter 2.
2. Read both side of the debate in the link above.

Note Taking Tip: Take notes as you read. Since you know you are reading about two sides of an issue, one way to take notes is to have a page for the "for" side and a page for the "against" side. As you read, you can make note of unique perspectives, facts, and/or events that each side uses for evidence to support their viewpoint.

Step 2: Analyze and Evaluate

1. Consider the positive and negative points of the immigration issue
2. Based on your studies:
   1. Do you believe it is in the best interest of the world to allow more immigration?
   2. How could immigration help/hurt the receiving country?
   3. Do we really have a population problem or is it more of a poverty and uneducated mass problem?

Step 3: Analyze and Explain

3. Write a 100-150 word paragraph explain your reasoning on the question posed.

1. 1. Use evidence from the reading to explain the reasoning on your perspective.
   2. Acknowledge valid arguments (points) from both sides
   3. Write your paragraph on a Word document. Save the document to your computer as a back-up copy.
   4. You will not be able to see other people's post prior to posting your original thread.
