    2. The first TED Talk comes from  Mia Birdsong: The Story We Tell about Poverty Isn't True.
    3. The second talk comes from  Rutger Bregman: Poverty Isn't a Lack of Character.   
    4. Take notes as you watch using this worksheet .
    5. Be prepared to report what  you think schools and teachers could do as they work with children in poverty.
