5/8/17: Monday's Subwork

ALL STUDENTS:


2. Draw a Venn Diagram and based on the information that you read and what you know, please compare and contrast the lives of a poor peasant teenager in 1792 France (prior to the French Revolution) and a poor white, black, Hispanic, Cape Verdean, Haitian, Brazilian or Asian teenager who lives in Boston today. Page 18 Standard, 14 Honors

3. Then answer the following prompt (one to two paragraphs): How would their lives be different if the peasant was a noble and the Bostonian was well-off (The Globe published two articles yesterday about income inequality: one said that to live "comfortably" in the city in a two bedroom apartment one needs to make nearly $58 an hour, about $115,000 a year... remember when I asked you guys about your basic needs and minimum wage...) 18 Standard, 14 Honors

HOMEWORK:

Notebook check tomorrow.
