Hi Everyone,
Today you will begin work on the final unit assessment, a project about immigration using Adobe Spark Page. You will have the next three classes to work on completing the project (today, Wed. 4/1, and Friday 4/3 4/2), and the final version is due on Friday 4/3 (remember you have up to a week to turn it in late for full credit). Since you are using Adobe Spark Page to complete the assignment, to turn it in, you will be emailing me a link to your page (not turning it in through Google Classroom). Use the universal "send" icon (square with up-arrow) to start the process. I. Here are some resources to get you started with the app.

Hi Everyone,
Today you will continue to learn about the history of American immigration policy. First, you'll watch a video about the Chinese Exclusion Act. This was the first time America's immigration policy forbid a specific race/ethnicity/nationality from being able to immigrate to America, and from becoming citizens. Next, you will read about the Supreme Court case United States v. Wong Kim Ark and the way that the Chinese Exclusion Act, ironically, helped to solidify the concept of birthright citizenship in the US. Finally, you will use a timeline of US immigration policy to complete a graphic organizer that will ask you to identify key aspects of American immigration law over the course of our history. Enjoy! Today's assignment 1. Watch: Chinese Exclusion Act
2. Read: How the Chinese Exclusion Act led to the Birth of a Birthright 3. Assignment #25 - Use the US Immigration Policy timeline to complete the US Immigration Policy Graphic Organizer Hi Everyone,

Hi Everyone,
Wow. That escalated quickly. Here we are the first day of remote online learning! Who would have thought that when we first started discussing Coronavirus in class a couple of weeks ago, we'd be at this point (remember when I was just "mildly concerned"). But now we all have a part to play in keeping each other safe! We owe it to each other to do whatever we can do to protect each other. Please socially distance yourself from others as much as possible (avoid groups, public places, etc. And stay home!), but maintain your social connections in other ways as much as possible (phone, online, FaceTime, etc.) We can socially distance without being lonely. I know this is a crazy time, but over the next couple of weeks I will be providing you ways to continue our study of America's Response to a Changing World from home. You can expect class to proceed in the following ways: 1. At the normal start of class time, you should visit the class website and see the agenda for that day. The agenda will have all the information and resources that you will need to complete that day's assignment. You will also see a corresponding Google Classroom assignment for that day's class. You should expect that each class will have a task for you to complete with something to submit to Google Classroom at the end. 2. For the most part, assignments will be designed to be be completed within the normal class time, and assignments will be "due" by the end of that class period. The idea being that during the normal America's Response class time, you are working to complete that day's assignment. With that being said, I know that not everyone will be able to complete a given assignment during the normal class time. To allow for the flexibility that we all need at this time, you will have up to ONE WEEK to turn in any assignment for FULL CREDIT. However, I will not accept assignments after one week. 3. If you have questions about assignments, don't hesitate to email or message through Google Classroom. I will do my absolute best to answer emails sent to me before 2:45 pm the same day. But if you do email after 2:45 pm, I may not be able to email back until the next day. 4. Expect things to change and be flexible. Circumstances seem to be changing by the minute in unpredictable way. We are in this together, and will all need to be able to roll with things as much as possible. We are all trying our best to navigate a situation the none of us have ever been in before. We must always remember: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q4Lp29EEQ6uIU-Zr_2_ROmk_MkhmagMj/view Take care of yourselves and your families! I look forward to the time when we can all be in class together again! Below you will find today's assignment. Mr. Parise Today's Assignment Assignment #24 1.

But in the end, Oscar loses his court case and is ordered back to Honduras (largely because he did not have a lawyer who could help him answer the judge's questions properly). He is placed in the custody of his uncle while awaiting deportation. Rather than let him be deported (and face likely death at the hands of the gang back in Honduras), Oscar's uncle puts him on a bus to live and work as a farm worker with someone he knows in California. This means that Oscar will attempt to live and work in the US as an unauthorized immigrant. Now please complete the assignment below on Google Classroom. Assignment #23 - Icebox Reaction In a 1/2 page to one page paragraph (double spaced, size 12): A. What stuck out to you most about what you have seen in the film Icebox so far? What was the most interesting, surprising, upsetting, or intriguing to you? B. How does Oscar's experiences connect to what we’ve been learning about unauthorized immigration? Explain at least two ways the movie demonstrates a reality about immigration across our southern border. C. At the beginning of the film, Oscar crosses the border illegally. And in the end, he decides the avoid deportation and work as an unauthorized immigrant. Do you view him as a criminal? Explain why or why not. |
