8 Lang-Lit: Migration

Migration Unit

In this unit, we will examine text types and learn how authors present information for different purposes.

  • For your independent reading, consider choosing a novel or nonfiction book with the theme of immigration.
  • You will research an immigration-related topic and identify the biases of the sources you read.
    • Taking on the role of someone with a clear viewpoint about that issue, you will present that perspective to your audience.
    • Note: This is not necessarily YOUR point of view. Rather you are taking on the view of someone involved with an immigration issue.  For example: A hospital worker? A border guard? A social services worker? A mayor of a city?
