Social Mobility

Starter 28: JD Vance TED Talk

1. What barriers to upward social mobility does Vance talk about?  List them.
2. What are the factors he talks about that helped him become upwardly mobile?  List them.
3. Discuss:  What implications does what he said have for improving social mobility?  If his experience is not unique, what strategies do we need to help people become more upwardly mobile?

Social Mobility Factors Jigsaw
You are going to become experts on one aspect of social mobility.  

1. In your group, you should meet and choose what resource you would each like to do.  All resources are linked on the documents page of my DP.  If your topic has sub-topics, there must be at least one person for each sub-topic.
2. For your chosen resource, read and take notes on:
   1. Main ideas of the text
   2. How and why this factor impacts social mobility
   3. Solutions or programs proposed

Tomorrow you will create posters that clearly lay out what the issue is and how it impacts social mobility.  More details on this tomorrow!
