  1. Social-Class Lens Introduction

  2. Money & Class Two famous authors were talking about American society. F. Scott Fitzgerald turned to Ernest Hemingway and said, "The rich are very different from you and I.” Hemingway replied, "Yes, they have more money."

  3. Survey Take the survey on your own. We will discuss your answers in 6 minutes.

  4. Where do you fit in? (top left side) Draw a large bulls-eye with FIVE concentric circles. The centermost circle represents the most money and power that a person has in our society, the so-called 1%. The outermost circle represents the underclass, the welfare class. Label the remaining circles with your own titles. Draw an arrow to where you fit in.

  5. What is the Social-Class lens? (right side) • Make two-column notes from the text that address the following topics: • Karl Marx • Main concern • Overarching question • Material dialectic • The cycle • The revolution

  6. Where will you end up? (bottom left side) Draw a ladder, leaning against a wall. Your ladder is a symbolic social ladder.Like the bulls-eye, it represents wealth and power from top to bottom in our society. Where are you now? Label your rung. Where do you expect to end up by the time you retire from your career? Where do characters that you know from books fit in?
