Introduction to Poverty
Today is day one of our poverty unit. Today we will be introducing what poverty is and the cycle of poverty.First I would ask the students to write what they think poverty is and who they think is affected by poverty down in their journals. We will revisit these writings several times throughout the unit. I will ask if anyone wants to share what they wrote. We then will be watching a video that gives us an introduction to poverty. After the video is watched the article posted below will be read aloud by the teacher. We will then discuss the main points of the article and video as a class. Tell students to add anything they learned or found important about poverty to their journal.
