**__Project #1__**: **__Voice Thread: The Issues (groups of 2)__**

1. Choose one of the immigration issues you learned about in the "Immigration Today" lesson with Mrs. DeSantis. You will be creating a Voice thread (combination of visuals and audio) to comment on one of these issues.

2. Research your topic via the internet. Find at least three websites as resources for your information and images. You must add these links to your wiki page as "resources used" for your final project. Find a minimum of four images that represent immigration issues today. Use voice thread.com to place these images in a "thread". Once you have selected and added your images, you will create a "script" in your digital notebook. DO NOT record your voice until you have a script written out in your notebook!

3. For each image, you should...
 * describe what is going on in the image/what issue it represents
 * explain any recent news stories that pertain to the issues
 * tell why, in your opinion, it is an important issue
 * analyze what could be done to solve whatever the issue is (come up with a solution)

4. Once you have brainstormed (and written them in your digital notebook) answers to these prompts, you may go back to voice thread to record your voice/your partner's voice explaining/analyzing the images that you chose.

5. Link the voice thread to your wiki page and invite classmates/teachers to respond to your thread!
