In class, we reviewed the reader response homework procedure and answered any questions regarding the assignment. Then, we discussed parts of chapter one. You can find the powerpoint under the "powerpoints" tab. We focused on the Sociological Imagination and had a great discussion on how it is used when exploring social observations. We also reviewed the three major theoretical perspectives we will study: functionalist, conflict, and interactionist.

For homework, there are two activities that I handed out in class. You can find a link to the pages below. You will need your textbook for both activities. Feel free to work together, but everyone must have their own paper to hand in.
