The article tells how the population of Virginia is changing as many immigrants come to live here. After you read it, write your reactions or thoughts. It has a lot of "jargon"--so just try to get the general idea. If there are some words in it that you would like to learn, please bring them to class (maybe "skyrocket" and "dwindle" from the title).

Article about the growth of the Hispanic and Asian population in Virginia
I read an article entitled "Virginia.'s numbers of Hispanics and Asians skyrocket as white population dwindles" in the Washington Post and thought that you would be interested in it. It's really your story! Here's a link to the article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/03/AR2011020304604_2.html?sid=ST2011020805933.

ReplyDeleteWell, that doesn't come as a surprise to me, I've been living in the area for the past 11 years and I've seen this are changing a lot, the state is good to the people, the fact that we're in the dc metro area helps because work is better paid around here, also people in the northern va area is very good to immigration. It's good we were counted in this past sensus it'll help to get more representation, and the state will get more money for roads and schools from the federal goverment.
