ATTENTION - CLASS AT HOME, NOT ON CAMPUS

Hi everyone!!! We are not going to be able to meet in person tomorrow- I am SOO sorry!!! But don't you worry, we will NOT miss the opportunity to learn about American and global poverty!!

You will find all of the files you need for "class" on CE6 OR your email. You will need the mp3 podcast, 2 sets of power point slides, and 2 handouts. The income support policies table is just for you to glance at if you're curious about the programs we have to address poverty in the US, what they are, and how people get them. The Poverty in the US is a handout for you to read AND a worksheet to complete a personal budget if you had to live on what the government considers to be poverty wages.

Also, please watch this video: www.hulu.com/watch/5287/30-days-minimum-wage (You have to create a user ID and password because the video is for mature audiences and you have to verify your age) - this video is 45 minutes long

Finally, I'd like each person to post a comment or response to something in this "class." The video, the budget, the wealth calculator are good candidates. I also point out some questions or things to ponder in the podcast that you might consider responding to. Please post your responses on the Discussion Board section of CE6.

I strongly recommend doing this during our regular class time! Don't forget, blog 4 is due tomorrow. See you next week!!!
