We continued working on James' assignment discussing the Fourth Amendment. We first located and then in a single paragraph summarized a recent news article addressing warrantless searches and arrests of suspected illegal immigrants. Next, we studied the essay prompt and discussed how to create a thesis statement that contains a line of reasoning . After James completed his thesis statement , we studied the last portion of the assignment that requires the student to address how to balance the needs of law enforcement with the individual's right to be free from unreasonable searches and arrests.
