What would you say to America if you could?
Recent events challenge us to think about our changing country. New immigration policies deeply affect high school students and their families. An ELA teacher at Bronx High School of Business and her students, who are immigrants, decided to speak to America. These young people share their experiences and opinions in student essays and tackle some common myths about immigration. The result is a book of student voices speaking to teachers, parents, and policy-makers in Dear America.
Immigration has been the trek of many Americans and in an age of alternative facts, sometimes there are untold realities. Read the essays of students as they journeyed through news reports and public opinion and see what you think!
