Today in class we found out that we will have an essay for our exam which I was already aware of but had some questions which he answered. I was not sure if we would have to write our exam in one class period or if we would get to start before then. He cleared things up and turns out we will get about a week to work on it which is nice because I am not good at writing things in a short amount of time. It also makes me a little less stressed knowing I can take my time to make sure that I write a good essay that will help my grade and not hurt it. We also read out of a packet today so here are the notes below.
- Illegal Alien means a group of people that favor tougher restrictions and enforcement of immigration laws
