Starter 15- Inequality Prediction + Data
Prediction 
  1. Imagine the US is divided into quintiles in terms of population (groups of 20%)
  2. How do you think the wealth of the US is divided between these?  In other words, for the lowest 20% of the population, what % of the wealth of the US do they have?  Then for the next lowest, etc.
  3. How do you think the wealth of the US SHOULD ideally be divided between these?  Why?

Wealth Inequality in America
Watch the infographic!  
  1. How did your prediction stack up?  
  2. How did your ideal stack up?
  3. What do you think explains the difference between the ideal/predictions/reality?

Inequality for all NOTES
Purpose of this film- to give a broad historical context and overview of how we got to where we are today, how that is connected to policy and politics, and why this is a problem.
  1. Review/read over the initial background information
  2. Have students read over the questions they will need to answer during the movie (bullet points are fine!)

We will finish this on Thursday!
