There are several ways to complete thought responses to articles and other written materials. Follow these guidelines:
Mandatory: After researching the Saints and the Roughnecks, discuss the connections between the articles you find and relevant sociological theories and perspectives
discussed in the textbook. Make 3 direct connections to theories, perspectives, and other important concepts discussed. These connections must be explicit. 8 points
each = 24 points
In an additional paragraph, personally relate your life experience to themes and situations and social issues described in the articles and/or written materials. When
making these connections, be sure to incorporate sociological principles/theories into your discussions. 5 points
In an additional paragraph: From a sociological perspective (i.e. Symbolic Interactionist), or other theory discussed in the textbook (i.e. sexism, racism,
differential association, exchange, frustration-aggression, interaction, labeling, conflict and/or functional, etc.), critique the articles or written material you
chose. Do not simply regurgitate the articles or written material, or make observations without relating them to appropriate sociological concepts. It is neither
useful for improving critical thinking skills, nor acquiring and developing an understanding of the world from the sociological perspectives. There are no set right or
wrong answers. Thought responses are a creative endeavor in which no two students' reactions to an article will be identical. Explore your own views about important
social concepts through these responses. 5 points
