Writing+Questions+Immigration

Standard Reading 2.3: Generate relevant questions about readings on issues that can be researched.

Topic: Immigration

Directions: Students will generate five research questions based on the research topic. The questions should elicit a "yes" or "no" response or the students should have multiple choice options (a. b. c. or d.). Students should ask opinion questions and not personal questions. Example of an opinion question: Does racism still exist? Example of a personal question: Are you a racist?

Example: 1. Should the United States limit the number immigrants they allow in the country each year? 2. Do you think immigrants should be forced to assimilate into American society? 3. Do you think laws should be broken if they are wrong or unfair? 4. Should employers be punished if they hire an illegal immigrant? 5. If a person is being mistreated, should other people stand up for that person?

Once students generate the questions, they will survey 30 people. There is a survey template linked to the wiki.
