I’ve mailed you an example for an analysis, which hasn’t been received by all of you. Please take a look at your spam folder! If that doesn’t help, e-mail me for a download link.

Test Preparation

Check whether you are prepared for the test by answering the following questions:

Facts:

• Do you know the development from the New Colossus to the Fence Act?
• Can you explain the different theories for a multicultural society?
• Do you know the components of the American Dream?
• Do you know the forms of discourse?

Competences:

• Are you able to write a comment and an analysis meeting the criteria given on the concerning paper?
• Can you use the words concerning immigration?

If you have to answer with a no or are insecure about any of these aspects, there is still time to work on the matter. If you need help, don’t hesitate to write an e-mail message!
