greetings...fun times over the weekend!

Hello adolescent children:

You have an article to read  over the weekend and two questions to respond to...the article covers the topic of social mobility and how it's diminishing slightly in America. Think about the author's point of view, consider what we discussed in class on Friday and connect any themes you see in the article with the Piano Lesson. Have fun guys!

In order to access the article, follow these steps:

1) open an internet browser
2) google the following...the downward path to upward mobility
3) the first thing that should pop up on google is an article with that title from the Washington Post with a small icon of a man... the author, Fareed Zakaria. Click on the the link and read the article.

Questions!
 Why  does Zakaria think that social mobility is going down in the United States? What do you think about his conclusions?

What is the biggest factor for getting the US back on track with the American Dream and social mobility? Why?

Make sure to post your responses on your blog!
