Critical Summary:

In the written assignments that are due on Michael B. Katz, ed., The Underclass Debate: Views from History, you have two 'critical summaries'. For this kind of assignment, please do the following:

- Recap the main argument of the chapter (what,when,why,how)
- Describe the evidence (strong? weak?) that supports the argument.
- Indicate the current policy implications of the historical argument.
- Aim for 700 words (+/- 100).
- Turn in a paper copy in class, depositing electronic copies in the drop box and your own class folders.
