Vocabulary Notebooks
Starting with chapter two, we will complete a vocabulary notebook project. This project will not only help you review for your test but it will also help provide you with an excellent study tool for the AP exam in May. Vocabulary notebooks will be turned in with each chapter quiz or test (see calendar for due dates). Click here for directions.

A Different Perspective on Illegal Immigration
Politicians and citizens periodically have proposed building a high-security fence along a major portion of the U.S.-Mexico border with the goal of preventing undocumented migration.
Read the research article attached below and write a hand-written response (in a "letter" format) to it in the context of the “new fence” idea. Address your letter to Congress and include what you think might result from a new fence at the border, along with how we might instead resolve issues with undocumented migration.
