Product or Performance Mother and Father of Sociology bio-board Standards See attached rubric Mothers and Fathers of Sociology Bio-Board Intro: Sociology is a social science that vastly covers a wide variety of topics including many social issues that affect you and I today. Without sociology, all we would have left is the history books to tell us “what was’ not “what could be.” By studying sociology you are opening your eyes to a world of understanding and respect for social structures outside your everyday realm. Sociology provides you with an opportunity to look, think, and appreciate worlds outside of your “box.” But in order to understand where we are going this semester, we have to understand who got us there and how. The history of sociology is as important as the subject itself. Before sociology people were limited in their beliefs and expected to value what was told to them through history (though much was to be fabricated for social benefits). The Project: You and a partner are going to be responsible for researching one father/mother of sociology. You and your partner will only be required to look up specific information about this one person and briefly report back to the class your findings. You will create a small bioboard (1/4 of a poster board or larger) of your person to show your classmates. You will also relay back to the class any important information about your person. Sounds simple right? This project is for the benefit of the class. It is meant to give everyone in your class an understanding of how the subject of sociology became what it is today. On the following page(s) you will find exactly what needs to be done for the completion of this project. Specifics: You will be working with ONE other person on this. o If we need to triple up due to an odd number we may. You will spend TWO days in a computer lab at school to complete this assignment. o If extra time is needed it’s up to you to get together outside these walls.
