New Credit Earning Opportunity

Controversial Social Topics
Each week, I'll be posting a controversial topic for you to comment on. You can earn up to three competencies per week for actively participating with the blog. If you don't have anything to work on during project work time, you can always earn competencies by completing the controversial social topics. Each competency should take approximately 45-60 minutes to complete.

This week's topic is immigration. Make sure you establish your opinion and separate your opinion from fact.

-1 Competency

View the CNN video and analyze the situation facing the French government. Leave a comment at the bottom of this blog. You may need to watch the clip several times. Go deeper than the basics, tell me more than who, what, where, when, why, and how. Your opinion regarding immigration should be clearly demonstrated by your comment.

-1 Competency
Complete a websearch on immigration. Prepare a presentation which features multiples points of view (immigrants, citizens who don't want immigrants, government agencies, etc.). Your presentation may be a write-up or a slideshow. Once your done with this piece, post it to this blog. I can show you how to embed a presentation.

-1 Competency
Go to Animoto and create a piece which features IMMIGRATION. Your photo's should feature images which portray immigration from more than one point of view. Once you've created your piece, post it to the blog & try to get your peers to comment on it.
