Research Project

Determining our group's topic on what to do our research project went fairly well. All 4 group members had input into what we thought would make a good topic and we essentially had a 75 minute brainstorming session. At the end of the period we all agreed upon a topic which I think should be pretty interesting and relevant to current events in America.
For our groups research project, we are going to be going into a topic that is somewhat of a 'hot button' issue of whether or not children in the MMSD (Madison Metropolitan School District) that are the children of illegal immigrants should be taught in classes alongside children of citizens of this country. Though the children are legal citizens in every sense under the law (provided they were born in the U.S.), there is still some backlash against teaching these children who are sometimes called 'anchor babies'. I expect that we have much to learn as this issue is a big 1 that will likely get bigger as the immigrant population of the United States has been steadily growing, but our group will be up to the challenge.
