This week we will be getting involved in politics! We'll be forming committees and trying to get something done on Capitol Hill! Here we go....

1. You have been tasked by the federal government to lead a committee to determine the actions required to reform immigration.

2. You have to present your findings to Congress on Friday. They will expect you to answer the following questions:

a. Who will be on your committee (not names, just positions/organizations)?

b. How will your committee make decisions?

c. What challenges do you expect your committee to face (think of this as external factors - don't focus on internal group dynamics for this part)?

d. How will you organize the committee?

e. Define the committee's task (think of this as your problem statement). It should be clear and concise.

3. Post your initial work as if you were addressing Congress (answering each of the above questions).

Remember to utilize relevant course material to guide your work (and the course concepts should be evident in your work).You can make up "facts" as needed to complete the week's work, just make sure you answer all questions.
