The topic/event I have chosen for Unit 2 is Arizona's controversial immigration law. I think this is going to be a good topic because it affects a wide variety and number of people so I don't think I will have a hard time finding good well spoken arguments for or against the law. Immigration is also a pressing issue in the United States, so im looking forward to finding many examples of peoples opinions. It will be interesting because I believe I will find some great arguments from people either strongly for or strongly against it. When people have a strong opinion towards something they often make strong arguments to back up their side of the story, which is perfect for Unit 2.
I hope to search for primary sources through the online databases the library has to offer, along with any newspaper and magazine articles I can find. The internet is also a endless source for information so i expect to find many reports and positions there.
