From ttate at glenbrook225.org Mon Feb 5 18:09:00 2018 From: ttate at glenbrook225.org (Tara Tate) Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2018 12:09:00 -0600 Subject: [Ndca-l] Immigration curriculum resources Message-ID: Hi everyone! Once again, I am putting together a set of curriculum resources for next year's policy topic on Immigration. For me, I use these resources in my novice classes at the end of the year when the competitive season is over but we still have weeks of school left. I am actually using a couple of the resources for my Congress debate class as well. Immigration is often an issue that is debated and my Congressional kids seem to mix up some of the key vocabulary. Immigration Reform is also on the potential list of PF topic areas for 2017-2018 so these resources may also come into play for those coaches if that area gets chosen in the months remaining. I will be storing them in a Dropbox location again this year. If you have any that you would like to contribute, please feel free to email me. This will be a work in progress. I will actually be releasing the Dropbox link in a couple of days with some of the introductory work that has been done. Thanks to Lauren Donnenfeld, Stefan Bauschard, and Katie Weston for their contributions last year. Again, anything you have that you feel is valuable to share to send along would be great!
