Classwork (in Lab)
Yesterday we talked about the Social Security program created under FDR and you read two proposed changes to it in the DBQ for homework.
Your assignment is to create a thoughtful, accurate 5-paragraph essay essay paper examining both sides of the social security dilemma. In this essay, your aim is to demonstrate that you understand the problem Social Security is experiencing and the proposals that have been made to fix it.
Extra information about the problem and proposed solutions is contained within this handout.
The DBQ and essay description is here: DBQ
If you are reading this, that must mean the computer lab schedule got worked out ok, so I would like you to write this essay on google docs and share it with me as a collaborator. DO THIS IMMEDIATELY when you start the document. Title it with your last name and Social Security (e.g. Johnson SS Paper). Due at the end of class.
