For today's assignment we will be working with 2 sources: Please label them!!!
Source #4 "How Many Americans Live in Poverty?" (print)
Source #5 "Wealth Inequality in America" (video--we will watch it twice) ---if you want to watch again it is linked to the left under research paper category (video link) (your notes will be on paper or the back of the worksheet)
Write the inquiry question on your new handout: "What can (developing nations) do to increase economic prosperity?"
Our goal for today is to get some facts/statistics from EACH of these sources (you may use the blank side of your article to take notes on the video as we watch 2x)
You will also need to answer the following 5 questions using the RACE strategy on both the article and the video. Make sure you make some annotations/highlights for full-credit on your research paper
1. According to the video, is wealth distributed equally in America? Explain.
