Extra Credit

The students have a final opportunity for extra credit. They can complete one of our TV sheets by watching a family based show at home. It can then be turned in for credit. (Just remember the show has to be about a family!)

Sociology

Last week we started a unit on Sociology. Due to time constraints (5 1/2 days to be exact) I am focusing the unit on family. Today we talked about different types of families as well as decision making in a family. We will use all of this information for the remainder of the school year as we watch and compare different families.

The families we compare will be fictional, from TV. Yes, for the last week of school my students get to watch TV. However, as they watch they will be required to identify the type of family and answer some basic sociology questions about the family. All of the sheets the students complete will be turned in for credit. It will be the last grade of the year.
