Force of Friction
In this project, we focused on the issue of illegal immigration within the US. We mostly covered the issue involving that of Latin America. We learned what the true life of an undocumented minor looks like. We took trips and learned in real life, what their lives truly look like. We spent more that 6 weeks in preparation of or final exhibition, in which we displayed the plays we had been working on over the course of this project. We all wrote plays in pairs about a real unaccompanied minor and their journey's to the US. As a class, we chose 4 plays to produce and act out for our exhibition of work. After learning about the struggling lives of immigrants, we wrote a final essay stating our opinions post project.
