Format for the Third Assignment
Introduction
Define and discuss the idea of taking pictures (see the description in the syllabus). Explain what you did and how you approached taking the pictures. Where did you go? What led you to those visual elements?
Discussion
As a group of pictures explain what visual ideas caught your eye as illustrations of the concept(s)? How did you know you were taking a picture of Society, Social solidarity, Culture, Power, Social Structure, and Community?
Analysis
What did you learn about Society, Social solidarity, Culture, Power, Social Structure, and Community by having to think visually? How do these ideas manifest – become real – in our world? Make sure you describe, evaluate, and criticize the experience of completing the assignment from a sociological perspective.
Summary
Now, present your own opinion(s). Make a concluding comment about the assignment. What benefit or limitation to sociological practice did this process illustrate about sociological ideas, research, and arguments we have discussed in class or you have examined in your readings? Always make sure that you connect your ideas to the class discussion or your textbooks. When you connect your points to the class texts (books, articles, etc.) always cite your sources using the ASR (sometimes referred to as ASA) citation format.
Include the pictures with your paper in some way.
