The Wall
My activity will address the following DQ: should there be a wall between the United States and Mexico? It will begin with a class discussion concerning this subject, where initial understandings about what the students already know will be discussed, then I'll show the grabber, groups will be assigned, the students will communicate group roles, will complete their individual roles, then they'll create a proposal. Lastly, each group will present their proposals and will be grading according to the rubric.
