Here is a Summary of what we went over in class today. 

I showed students more specifics about how to do their "Hours by Arrangement" assignments. In assignment #1 for example the trick is that after going to the Census link the student choose what to read. The "Summaries" be in any form (bullets, incomplete sentences) but the "Responses" should always be in the form of a paragraph. We practices examples of generic or standard introductory sentences. 

We had pair discussions of chapter 5 and 6 (Refer to pages 9 and 10 of the La Línea worksheets).

We also discussed pages 10-13 of CR3 (College Reading 3) and a practice quiz. Make sure you understand what sociologists mean when they talk about "dominant groups."

Homework is to read all of CR3 chapter 1 #2 (pages 14 through 19). Make sure you understand the vocabulary. Also Read Chapter 7 of La Línea. 

See you all Wednesday. 

Attendance was 70 percent.  Attending every class is important.
