1) Go to the website: http://playspent.org/ and complete the simulation. (The website gives situations and choices for a recently unemployed single parent and some of the real life scenarios and the difficult choices people face in order “to make ends meet”.)
2. Write down/Keep track of your choices and options as you go along… (Hint: it will sometimes give you an option to “ask a friend” using Facebook, if you choose that and it takes you there just exit Facebook and go back to the Spent program to return to the simulation. You don’t really have to ask your Facebook friends for help :).
3. Write a response that summarizes the activity: Do not include your notes as the majority of your response, this is about your reaction to the simulation. Include a description of your results. Did you make it through the month? If not what day did you get to? What were some of the challenges you faced and decisions you had to make? Feel free to try the simulation several times, what worked best? What made you go broke the fastest?
***Make sure you analyze your results within your response and discuss it using your sociological imagination. What are some of the larger “public issues” that affected “your personal troubles” during the scenario? Can you think of any potential public policies
