Please review the goal and agenda for the day (posted in the classroom).

Today in class you will 

•  assess countries' standard of living.

Why?

• To develop your understanding of standard of living.
• To become more understanding of others.
• To develop your critical thinking.

1.  Discuss with someone near you what you will be doing in class today and why (see above).   1 minute

2.   Review your work from yesterday; double check with the data table at your table and the hyperdoc.              5 minutes

3. Pair with someone who had a different country. Speak about what you determined about the country's standard of living. Give feedback to the other person. Do they use the data? Does what they say make sense? Does the "show" part explain about the data?            7 minutes

Parents: Instead of Asking Your Child, 
"What Did You Do in School Today?"

Ask them.......

• What data can you use to analyze a country's standard of living?
• How does the data show about standard of living?
