1. Warming up with your survey results about wealth and power
- New folder: The Great Gatsby or "Wealth and Power" or "The American Dream"
- New document: In-class thoughts
In your "In-class Thoughts" document, please try the following with a buddy as you watch the videos:
- Write a one-sentence summary of what the video is about.
- Write a one-sentence summary of what larger point the video is making and/or how the video responds to today's focus question (is wealth making or breaking the American dream?).
- Write a brief personal response to the video. This can include reflection, opinions, connections, analysis, reaction, questions, or all of the above.
Here are the videos (pick two or three)
