Tuesday, March 26th, 2013

Greetings,
I hope all of you are having a most wonderful spring break so far.
Below you will find the assignment for Packet #7 (5 items), due to be completed by Wednesday, April 3rd, the day we return to class. The overall topic is immigration, which rears its head in Breaking Bad, but not too obviously until later in the series. However, it IS a significant issue to study--its history and its rhetoric.

  3. Michael, try it again. I just double checked and it worked for me. :) If you still have problems, email me and I will send the link that way. Or you can simply google United States Citizenship Test and should be able to locate it that way.
