In the previous lessons, especially Lessons Five, Six, and Eight, the class learned how immigrants can sometimes be targeted or blamed for large scale problems in a state or nation, such as the economy, living conditions, or even political problems. This lesson will examine recent issues related to immigrants, with a particular focus on Minnesota. The teacher should read Handout 11.1: Post September 11 Background Information before teaching this lesson. You may also wish to have students read some or all of Handout 11.1.
