  • Research each question and write the answer on your sheet
  • On the back of your sheet 
    • Write two additional facts you find interesting about your topic
    • Answer the "Something to Think About" question
  • Log into your blog and write one paragraph. Please include:
    • An image (I will show you how to do this)
    • A topic sentence
    • Three facts about your subject
    • Your response to "Something to Think About." This will serve as your conclusion

Maquilopolis




Today you will summarize the last portion of Maquilopolis. Remember, you are NOT starting a new post, rather adding one more paragraph to the post you have already been working on.



In this paragraph please tell me:


·       What you saw today


·       What you think is the worst thing about the maquiladoras


·       Tell me who you think is at fault. Is this a problem Mexico needs to fix, the U.S. needs to fix, or both?


·       What can we as consumers do to help stop the abusive practices of Maquiladoras
