Today students finished their Aztec myth presentations. We then dived into talking about May 1st - Día de los trabajadores - International Labor. With immigration hot in the news, we focused our discussion on jobs and why certain ones are more respected and better paid.We also talked about the recent immigration law was passed in Arizona and a little bit of the history of the Border Control to put it in context. The students ranked there 25 Jobs and then tried to think of the five most important jobs needed in society. For homework, students are to read an essay on immigration by Richard Cohen and start to think about whether or not they agree with his thesis (or parts of his arguments). Students will use this to write an reaction and share their own opinion. It will be exciting to see what they come up with!
