1. Journal 
Today is an election day, also known as Super Tuesday. Do you plan to vote? Why or why not?

2. Video Background 
I'm going to show you a quick clip from the actual article source HERE. You can revisit it if necessary on your own time.

3. Read Article 

• We're going to read an article that tells a less personal story than the poem we've been reading by Diana Garcia. 
• Instead, we're taking a government approach to local immigration and what's happening along the US-Mexico border. 

4. Charting the Text 

• In your journal, create the "saying" and "doing" chart that we've used before for "charting the text"
• We are going to divide up the text and your job is to summarize and explain the author's point for each section of the text
• Start by drawing a line under the intro 
• Then look for the conclusion of the piece and draw a line above where it starts 
• Remember, the "doing" side always starts with a rhetorical verb from the chart in our room

5. Google Classroom Question
There is a brief question in Google Classroom with sentence frames for you to use and respond. You should be pretty quick and writing assignments like this now, so I bet you can do it before class is done today.

6. Grade Check 

• Please be sure your compare and contrast paragraph is done in Google Classroom. 
• When you are totally done and your assignments are submitted, please go to Powerschool and check your grades. 
• Everyone has at least one assignment they can improve. 
• Nick and I are happy to help you pull up those grades.

Reminders: 
We have a minimum day tomorrow. Have a great afternoon!
