Thankssgiving break. When they return, they will receive the last section of
homework. The test on chapter 8 shoudl be given on ( approximatley) December
3rd or 4th. A review packet for the Mid - term exam will be given out at
least a week before the test itself.
SOCIOLOGY
The students are currently watching ' freedom Writers" and will be
submitting a paper, after Thanksgiving break, on how the movie illustrates
our topic of " Stratification based on race and ethnicity". A paper on
Stratification based on gender and age' has been assigned and will be due on
Friday, December 4th. Our last unit will deal with 'Social Deviance" and
will focus on crime, among other things. A REMINDER: the mid-term exam will
be a TAKE HOME paper, with a choice of topics. I will assign this paper
approximately two weeks before the last exam date. Seniors who have an 'A"
will be exempt form doing this paper, as long as the administration approves.
PLEASE REMEMBER that this means that no student needs to come to school
during the period that they would normally take a Sociology exam.
