EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY:  You can earn extra credit for attending and participating the "Great Decisions" discussion series.  Please see the email I sent last week for details.  If you would like to come to any of the discussions, please let me know so that I can add you to the Schoology group.

Objective:  Define stratification as a sociological concept.

Task:  Good morning!  We'll begin class with the final "Songs of Stratification" presentations.  Then, you'll have the opportunity to test your social class IQ.  Finally, if there is any time remaining, you'll finish and/or review your unit 2 vocabulary.
