With the new semester, I have a bunch of new students. In addition to new students, we also as a country have a new president. Likely, President Obama was the president the entire time that you have been in school (since kindergarten). So in honor of our our new president, I thought we could take a look at one of his initiatives.

Above are six different articles about the proposed Trump wall between the United States and Mexico. First, I would like you to read at least one of the articles. Because this is a very heated topic right now, I am going to structure your response a little differently.
1. State which article you read and what you learned. Write a scholarly summary of the article (at least 2 or 3 sentences).
2. As a scientist, I would like to hear your opinion about building the wall. It will look like this: Scientist: As a scientist, I think ....
3. Then I want your true opinion as of the wall. It will look like this:
Socially: My opinion about the wall is ....
Overall, the entire response will have three parts. Remember, that I would suggest to write this first in a Google Document and then paste it into the blog. That way you can check grammar, punctuation and spelling. This is a public blog so once you hit publish the world will see what you have to say. Be sure to be signed in to Blogger in the upper right hand corner before you try to publish.
