It is also the homecoming of my new daughter Nora Ingrid Davis!
I will not be in the classroom for the next two days as I stay home to serve and be with my family.
While I am gone, I want you to review all we have done thus far and be in a place where you could not only recount the material but speak thoughtfully about it. You should be able to make connections and see the relationship between different elements we have studied.
On Google Classroom you will find an assignment/document ("The Sociological Perspective Unit Study Guide") of which you should know all of its elements. Fill out this document collaboratively (you will all have your own doc but you can work together to come up with the answers) with groups of two to three. If you delegate, be sure you know and understand the terms you did not personally work to define/identify.
The hardest portion of this study guide will be the application of the paradigms. Basically, you should be able to run any element in society through the lens of the three sociological paradigms (e.g. automobiles and education). For any topic be able to articulate what a structural-functionalist, social-conflict theorist, and a symbolic-interactionist would see in that topic. If you understand how to do this, come up with random topics and try it. Also, serve your neighbors by helping them run different elements through the paradigms.
When I return Wednesday, I expect that you will have filled out the review sheet. Together, we will tackle any elements that are unclear. On Friday and Monday of next week, we should be able to take a two-part quiz.
If you have questions, please contact me.
