On Monday, we will be starting Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich. This is book is non-fiction and is a difficult read; however, it will be read aloud to students and each reading will have student driven discussion. Students had a great discussion after watching Morgan Spurlock's 30 Days episode Living on Minimum Wage. CORE Charter School students also received a case study in which they had to role play their own debits and credits. My question to the students is this: what did you get out of your situation- were you able to live on your income? Why or why not?
