In class today, you have THREE tasks to complete!  You must have ALL of them done by the end of 4th period.

TASK 1: Create College Essay Board

1. I have printed all the essays and cover sheets that have come in. Please let me know if you turned yours in late, so I can print for you
2. Tape NEATLY with double sided tape onto your display board
3. Hang on the wall in the hallway (use a LEVEL please!), with a pushpin in every corner

TASK 2: Prepare for Manna Visit

1. Starter 9 (in your starter document):
   1. What are some stereotypes that people have about the homeless population?  List them.
   2. Now, what questions might you ask to get the data you need to turn these stereotypes into generalizations?  Think about what you would need to know to create accurate and descriptive generalizations.
2. Choose ONE of the following resources to look at (or more if you have time!):
   1. NINA Durango- Facts and Myths
   2. World Population Review- Comparison of Homeless by State
   3. NYT Editorial- Housing Crisis- Lack of Supply, Zoning
   4. LA Times- Study linking Homelessness to Lack of Housing
3. Read the resource, and take notes on:
   1. What are the most important ideas in this resource?
   2. How well supported are these ideas with evidence and data?
   3. What generalizations can you make about homeless or homelessness based on what you read?  Remember, generalizations are descriptive, accurate, and capturing patterns supported by data!
   4. What questions do you have about homelessness in Durango?
4. SHOW LORI to get the reading for Task 3!

 
TASK 3: A Touchy Subject
Begin reading and annotating this essay about class distinctions in America.  You may annotate directly on the document, or on the form on Google Classroom.  Please remember, we’re looking for 2-3 annotations per page, and you need to do 5 vocab words as well (definitions + use in a sentence).

We will finish this in class on Friday.
