As we discuss the diversity of settlement in early America, this week's discussion topic is for each student to find one current article from an on-line media website involving immigration in the US and analyze its coverage by the media. Please choose an article from this week about any aspect of the immigration issue in the US (an individual's deportation story, rallies for/against immigration, a plan in Congress or a state to address legalillegal immigration, etc.) and post a brief, well-written summary of the article in your own words. Then, analyze how the issue is being presented by the media- is it objective/slanted, is the group involved portrayed with sympathy/anger, are stereotypes used, etc.?
