Team Soc,
We are in the last weekend going into finals. This means you have no homework. This also, necessarily, means you have much to study.
The final exam study guide is already posted. Be sure you know all the elements thereof. Bring in questions on Monday for our review.
Well done on the Society and Culture Through Victuals! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the connection between your food and your family!
Again, be ready with questions on Monday.

Team Soc,
I have placed a study guide in Drive for this unit. It is a tool for you and is not required.

Society and Culture Through Victuals
Team Soc,
Friday we will no longer be learning new material. Instead we will begin the process of review for the final exam.
To facilitate this process, let us celebrate society and culture through victuals!
The assignment:

The assignment:
- Bring in food (preferably made by you) to share with the class (bring plates, utensils, and napkins if needed)
- The food should be connected to you and your people (narrow like your family culture or broad like your ethnic heritage).
- Be able to make a brief statement about the connection between the food you brought and your people. Also be able to answer a question such as: Does this food symbolize something significant about your people?

Weekend Reminder
Team Soc,
Soc Forum 9 is posted. Be sure to respond by Monday morning before class.
Monday and Tuesday we will talk about two other sociologist's views on society and do some review (Tuesday). Wednesday we will take a test on Society.
Friday of next week will be the all important(!) Sociology cultural and societal food extravaganza. Greater details will be coming but you will need to bring in some food representative of your cultural background to share with the class and talk about how it is indicative of your heritage.
Also, for those of you who are thinking about the final exam, the study guide is posted on Drive. It is not required to be filled out; it is merely a resource for you in prepping for the exam. For those of you who are interested, starting next week, you can set up a time to meet with me to take your final early and orally.

Deep in the Alaskan Wilderness
Team Soc,
Thanksgiving Break is upon us and we are deep in the Alaskan wilderness. Hopefully we come back to society and join with family and friends over respite from the rigors of school.
This is what I would like you to do over Thanksgiving:
Thanksgiving Break is upon us and we are deep in the Alaskan wilderness. Hopefully we come back to society and join with family and friends over respite from the rigors of school.
This is what I would like you to do over Thanksgiving:
- Be thankful. Truly. Open your eyes to your many blessings and then thank God. Also thank those who have blessed you immensely (even if imperfectly).
- Observe. In particular have your eyes open to Thanksgiving and the rituals surrounding it. If you celebrate Thanksgiving with family or friends, record three (3) observations in and around your Thanksgiving meal and tradition. If you do not celebrate Thanksgiving, record three (3) observations regarding a meal you have or from a few different meals.
- If you so desire: I have posted on Drive a second reflection piece regarding Into the Wild. My expectations for your response are super high. I want thoughtfulness and insight beautifully interwoven. This will be due on Wednesday, December 4th. If you want to tackle it over Thanksgiving while things are still fresh in your mind, go for it. If you want to wait, that is fine as well.

Weekend Reminder
Team Soc,
We have reached the end of the Culture unit. Well, sort of.
As I introduced today, I would like you to demonstrate your knowledge differently than how you did on your test today; this will be actuated through the Cultural Quirks Video Project (found on Drive). Be creative. Have fun. This project will be due Friday, November 22nd. But feel free to submit it before then.
Out next unit is going to address society. There is much to learn about society (and you know already how definitionally culture and society are related). We are going to do this in part and initially through the medium of film. Get ready. Get excited.
