Gents: Today in class, we did the following...
- Took an AP-style quiz over "Serving in Florida" by Ehrenreich and reviewed the quiz.

- Discussed Ehrenreich's portrayal of work and poverty
For homework, please complete the following:
- Read Trapp's "My City in Two Dog Parks" from The Cincinnati Anthology (PDF); we'll have a seminar on Friday (A2) / Monday (B2) over this text, and Mr. Trapp will come to Moeller on Tuesday to speak to our class.
- Complete the budget activity: Create a budget with a minimum-wage job ($7.25 an hour). You should complete the Consumer Budget Worksheet (PDF); you'll need to research rent in Cincinnati, as well as other costs on the sheet. Please base your budget on a 40-hour per week job. When you finish, determine if this would be sufficient to cover your costs; we'll discuss this on Friday (A2) / Monday (B2). Please print this for class.
