Evicted Chapter 1 Questions

1. Sherrena Tarver claimed to have found her calling as an inner-city entrepreneur, stating “The ’hood is good. There’s a lot of money there” (Chapter 1). How did Sherrena profit from being a landlord in poor communities? Do you think her profits were justified? What responsibilities do landlords have when renting out their property? What risks do they take? Do you sympathize with Sherrena? Why or why not? 

2. In Milwaukee, evictions spike in the summer and early fall and dip in November when the moratorium on winter utility disconnections begins. When tenants are unable to pay both the rent and the utilities, how might they make a decision about which expense to pay first? If you were forced to choose between paying rent or heat, which would you choose? 

3. Go back and look at the chapter that you just finished reading. Based on this chapter, who is to blame for the evictions discussed in this chapter? Add direct quotes and “chapter 1” to your evidence tracker.

PPC Reading and Answer Sheet

MidTerm Correction Template 

Level Questions: The three different types of questions are…

1. Concrete
2. Inference
3. Philosophical

 

Level I - Concrete (literal) – Answers can easily be found from the text.

• What are the Hunger Games?
• How do tributes get selected to go to the Hunger Games?

 

Level II - Inference (interpretive) – Why questions. Cannot be directly answered from the text; may have more than one possible answer but is based on your understanding of the text.

• Why do the tributes kill each other once they are in the arena?
• How does Katniss survive the Hunger Games?

 

Level III - Philosophical (applied) – Thought provoking, questions that make people go, “hmmmm…” There is definitely no right/wrong answer, the correctness of the answer depends on how well you support your answer with evidence from the text.  Relates to the themes in the text.

• Should tributes be made to fight each other?
• How is the story of the Hunger Games like or unlike the society we live in today?
• Where do you see the ideas of oppression and liberation playing out in the Hunger Games?

Hello!! The Demand Elasticity notes and the Supply overview notes are attached.

 

Have fun. 

Good Morning!

 

Rather than having the answer key online - I decided that we will go over the answer key to the individual demand practice problems before we take the quiz on Tuesday that way you can ask questions if you have any. 

 

 Please check your Government grade - it has been updated/finalized. If you notice any inconsistencies, let me know in an email by the end of the school day on Monday.

 

Thank you,

Ms. Young

The Incentives and Scarcity articles are attached. Decide with your partner which article you are going to read (make sure you do not both read the same article), then complete the corresponding graphic organizer. Once you are done with your article, share your thinking and answers with your partner. Make sure you take notes as you listen to their share out. 

Good Morning!
