Writing Exam
We started the writing exam in class today. Several articles were given out regarding the topic: Should the Federal Minimum Wage be Increased?
Questions to think about as you form your opinion:
Questions to think about:
1. Does someone you know, or do you, work a minimum-wage job? Do you think that $7.25 per hour is fair pay?
2. What are some of the arguments for raising the minimum wage?
3. Why do some companies oppose a wage hike? Think about the articles you’ve read.
4. What do you think will happen if the minimum wage goes up? Do you have evidence to support this?
5. Why was the federal minimum wage first established? Do you think a federal minimum wage still makes sense, today? How can the government make a choice that will benefit both sides of the argument?
6. Why do some states have higher minimum wages?
7. Who will be most affected by a minimum wage increase?
Scholastic Magazine Archive
I will make myself available before school Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday if anyone wants "extra" time. I will be in the classroom by 7:10 each day.
