Congratulations!

Everyone did a fantastic job on the Mock Congress.  I am so impressed with the dedication that people put into staying true to their representative’s character and in researching the various topics related to immigration.  You should all be very proud of your work!

Mock Congress Reflection

Take a few minutes to think back on the Mock Congress assessment.  Please answer the following questions:

- What did you learn about immigration?

- What did you learn about the U.S. Congress?

- What did you learn about the way that the U.S. creates laws?

- How did your personal opinion differ from your representative’s opinion?

- How would you personally answer our essential question: What should the immigration policy of the U.S. be?

Please answer in complete sentences, using as much detail as possible.
