Choose between one of the following questions/prompts and write a critical and thoughtful
reflection. Use reason to support your position.
Prompt 1: Immigration Control in the United States
Immigration in the United States is a controversial issue. Each year millions of people cross the
U.S. borders illegally in search of the American dream — a land of freedom and opportunity
that can provide them and their families with a quality of life they cannot enjoy in their home
countries. About 11-12 million undocumented immigrants currently live and work in the US
today. Increased illegal immigration has generated divided opinions on the issue of
immigration control—some say illegal immigrants should be deported while others say that
there should be a path to amnesty or legal residency. Some would say that the standards for
who is deemed worthy of citizenship are narrowing, reflecting an increasing call for the “perfect
citizen.”
Consider DACA & the DREAMers as one of the key issues at the center of legal & political
discourse on US immigration today and answer the following question: Should DREAMers be
able to acquire legal/formal citizenship status and claim their “American identity”? You may
also want to consider what constitutes a good citizen.
Prompt 2: European Migration Crisis
The Economist argues that “Europe should welcome persecuted people and carefully manage
their entry into European society…Countries have a moral and legal duty to provide sanctuary
to those who flee grave danger.”
Read the short article and answer the following question: Do you agree or disagree with this
position?

Rubric
Thinking pieces are designed to make you think. This assignment gives you a space to
thoughtfully and critically explore your response to topic/issue. That is, I am interested in the
links, complications, or complexities you identify about the topic/issue. Each thinking piece is
worth 5%.
Please Note: I will not accept hand-written or emailed responses. I will only accept late
reflections with official documentation excusing your absence.
I will grade your thinking pieces according to the following criteria:
Score of 4-5
Demonstrates high-quality exploration (i.e., insightful and thoughtful);
addresses the assigned question, demonstrates that you have done the
required reading, reveals engaged thinking; fulfills the length
requirement.
Score of 3-3.9
Shows evidence of some reflection about the reading and/or issue, but
responses are generalized; lacking in depth; fulfills the length
requirement.
Score of 0-2.9
Shows little or no evidence or reflection about what was read and/or
issue or demonstrates that you have read but your response is overly
simplistic; too superficial; does not fulfill the length requirement.
What constitutes a high-quality “thinking piece”?
• Evidence of dialogic thinking—seeing complexities, finding cruxes and puzzles,
confronting inadequate explanations—I reward students for looking or probing into the
complexity of an issue
• Demonstrates critical engagement; makes independent and thoughtful contributions,
raises intelligent questions; makes interesting connections
• It is generally easy to tell the difference between insightful and superficial.
• The key question is not “how well written is this piece?” but “to what extent does this
thinking piece reveal engaged thinking about this topic/issue?”
• “High-quality” refers to being rewarded for showing the process as much as the product
of thought.
